 The psalmist skillfully weaves positive emotions like immense joy, heartfelt praise, deep sorrow, and genuine humility into all-encompassing proclamations of divine laws, sacred covenants, rightful curses, guiding rules, steadfast promises, and righteous decrees. It is through a meek and modest disposition that we can express rational principles and faithfully adhere to self-denial. True humility does not entail disregarding the objective truth presented in the Bible merely to maintain harmony. Christian humility encompasses shifting our focus away from ourselves and prioritizing the welfare of others above our own. As the most wretched sinners, we must strive to safeguard the most vulnerable. It is vital to consistently differentiate between detrimental influences and self-centered rage within the appropriate sphere of active involvement.The Psalmist, in their timeless verses, embodies virtues like meekness, fidelity, innocence, and sanctity, as they engage in battles and emerge victorious. With grace, they counteract corrupt inclinations, establishing a virtuous order in harmony with the divine design. Bestowed with divine authority, the Psalmist conquers adversaries, their unwavering adherence to sacred tenets a testament to their righteous cause. Furthermore, their triumphant conquest over adversaries, even those entrenched in ideologies of communism, reshapes the very fabric of reality. In Psalm 18, verse 24, it is proclaimed that the LORD rewards the Psalmist in accordance with their righteousness and the purity of their deeds. Guided by an unwavering commitment to justice, they persevere through arduous battles, ultimately achieving glorious triumph. The Psalmist concludes by affirming God's faithfulness to those who display unwavering loyalty and purity in their quest for perfection.In the realm of purity, God reveals Himself as untainted to those who possess a virtuous spirit. Through our connection with Christ, who unites humanity by merging our loyalty, innocence, and integrity with His sacrificial role, we can truly experience this harmony. The psalmist achieved extraordinary triumph in battle because of God's renewal of his corrupt motivations, which in turn granted him exceptional strength during his professional conflicts. Therefore, true modesty implies using power in a restrained manner. Self-denial entails adhering to the law properly, thus harnessing our remarkable ability to achieve victory in combat. Through God's authoritative proclamations, we supernaturally conquer and subdue violent forces beneath our feet. God harmonizes His control with our wise management of the divine grace bestowed upon us, resulting in the deliberate annihilation of these forces.
