"O Lord, I humbly come before you, pouring out my heart in prayer. Please hear my cries for help and grant me your mercy. I trust in your unfailing love and righteousness to come to my aid in my time of need. Thank you for always being faithful and just in your actions towards me".
God can only be pleased when we adhere to His laws, covenants, curses, statutes, decrees, and promises. He created the earth and entered into a covenant with mankind to rule over it. Initially, man lived in harmony with God's word, experiencing no conflict. Success was inherent in creation, reflecting God's faithfulness and righteousness. However, when man sinned, tension entered the picture, disrupting the peace. Man was never meant to experience such discord. In the garden, man's desires were always fulfilled without hindrance. The introduction of tension brought despair, making the world unbearable. Our eternal desires cannot withstand opposition, leading the entire creation to cry out for God's faithfulness. The Psalmist has discovered a way to confront this opposition by affirming our renewed free will.
Christ restored freedom to the world through his faithful and righteous work during his incarnation. By overcoming all challenges and proclaiming the axioms, we are brought back into a state of freedom. The Psalmist uses these axioms as a weapon to defeat opposition and establish God's kingdom on earth as a new garden. The curses of God are seen as banishing the wicked from this new garden, showing that only by granting man free will to speak these axioms can he regain the power to rule once more.
The Psalmist pleads with God not to judge his servant, acknowledging that no one is righteous before Him. He understands that sin must be judged, as it is the great enemy controlled by the curse of guilt, shame, sorrow, and fear. The only way for God to deal with the curse is to apply His faithfulness and righteousness in destroying sin and corruption. The Psalmist recognizes the importance of God's intervention in defeating the Opposition, as it is essential for him to rule over creation. He trusts in God's faithfulness to fulfill his desires and eliminate all obstacles in his path.
