"In the divine presence of the LORD, I have discovered a sense of safety and assurance, seeking refuge in His protection. I place my trust in His guidance and safeguard, imploring that I may never experience shame or disgrace. I beseech for deliverance in accordance with His flawless justice and righteousness, appealing for His mercy and favor during moments of distress."

The process of achieving salvation is marked by numerous obstacles and difficulties, stemming from both internal and external sources. Following our redemption, we are required to persistently combat these adversaries. Our journey towards salvation involves a continual effort to overcome internal challenges such as corruption, sin, and the consequences of the fall, as well as external threats like the fallen state of the world, the temptations of Satan, the judgmental attitudes of the morally superior, and the actions of evildoers. Upon experiencing salvation, we find ourselves embroiled in a ongoing battle that necessitates active engagement in order to secure our deliverance.

Upon receiving salvation, we were liberated from the enslavement of sin and the limitations imposed by the law. Our sanctification was established as enduring and we were reinstated to a state of completeness. We were identified as God's own, viewed as flawless in the perspective of Christ. Our transgressions were imputed to Christ, while His righteousness was attributed to us. We were wholly accepted by God. Although we persist in grappling with sin, we remain subject to allegations from Satan and detractors of God.

The Psalmist asserts that our main battle does not involve directly combating Satan and wicked individuals, but rather starts with addressing the feelings of shame that can hinder us. Through the sacrificial death of Christ, we have been liberated from the weight of the curse and are now joined with Him in His triumph over sin. By aligning ourselves with Christ, we have been freed from the judgment of the law, including the shame that the enemy tries to impose on us. The Psalms serve as a reminder that the shame we feel is not from God, but rather from the adversary attempting to undermine our faith and identity in Christ.

Numerous individuals encounter difficulty in grasping the idea of the law exposing our transgressions, resulting in confusion and a perpetual cycle of shame. It was only through an in-depth study of the Psalms and contemplation on the ramifications of shame that I started to discern the difference between the law's revelation of my sins and the emotional weight of shame. The Psalms underscore that shame is the distressing outcome of wrongdoing, prompting me to ponder the differentiation between repentance and shame.

Some scholars argue that when faced with the consequences of our transgressions under the law, it is important to remember that Christ has already atoned for our sins and granted us forgiveness. It is advised not to allow guilt to consume us. However, the Psalmist cautions that the struggle with shame extends beyond internal conflict and can be exploited by external forces such as Satan and the unrighteous to undermine our faith. The Psalmist personifies shame as a malevolent entity and condemns those who seek to exploit it to destabilize our faith.
