Psa 139:17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
The Psalmist is teaching that the words of God are more than thoughts. The words go down to His desires. God's desires are majestic. God speaks the creation into exisence in diversity that is related in its parts in perfect unity. The unity of creation is the eternal communication of God's desires. The words are a communication of desires that could evaporate us in a second.
The desires of God are present beyond the word. We are being infused with the unity of God's desires. We can say that God gives Himself as He attends His word. All of the communication that we experience
is beyond our capacity to count in our understanding how it is interelated to the physical and spiritual communication in this finite world. When we say the desires are majestic we are saying that God's recreation is as creative in the world as the original. AR

Psa 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psa 18:3 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies. He calls on God in the heat of the battle and he is saved.
Psa 20:9 O LORD, save the king! Answer us when we call! The king extols the Lord by repeating the covenant that he cannot trust in his weapons or horses but in God alone. He calls on God.
Psa 28:2 Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place. He speaks the covenant promise that God will not forsake us. He calls on God.
Psa 30:2 O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me. He calls on God to be healed. The promise to take care of us. Psa 31:22 In my alarm I said, "I am cut off from your sight!" Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help. He calls on God when he is in trouble and alone. Holy Psa 50:15 and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."He repeats God's covenant promise to call in trouble.
Psa 56:9 Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me. He reminds himself that speaking the curses Psa 61:2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I." He calls on God when he is weak. Ho Psa 86:3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I call to you all day long. The apsalmist is persistent calling on God all day long.

If God has decreed whatsoever comes to past that would involve our actions done on the basis of our weaknesses and sins. So when God planned in His eternal counsel exactly everything including my growth to form this person. So we live before God who has no surprises.
This is why the Psalmist speaks to God as an ongoing diologue. So most men do not think they are coming to God insincerely. We divide the commandments and make steps to God. But the Psalmist is teaching us the form of communication from God's perspective.
If we spoke the axioms to God then we would be keeping an ongoing diologue with Him. We would be concerned if He seemed to be silent. Some of us just conclude that it's because we have sinned. When the Psalmist experiences God's silent he tells God. God wants us to tell Him what we are experiencing. The invitation is not for God. He knows what we are thinking before we think the thought. It is for our faith.
If we could always hear God speak do you think we would have needs? We would experience such satisfaction and acceptance that we would be bubbling over. So the Psalmist is clinging to God at all times. He is always telling God what he wants and his troubles and sins. He is always confiding in God. This is the art of speaking the law ,covenants, curses ,statutes,and decrees
If we are happy we praise God. But in this Psalm he is insecure. So all of the important feelings of loneliness and rejection are only satisfied when God speaks. When we have His ear we are loved

Psa 13:1 How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
When God hides His face it is not necessary His doing but our misunderstanding. The Psalmist complains to God by using words that are Doctrinal. From the view of the Psalmist the problems are real. From God's view the problem can be solved by direct infusion of life or by illumination. When God solves a problem it is usually by constraining us.
We are born in a world that is opposed to God. In order for us to understand the opposition we must meditate on the axioms. In the Psalms God defines the personality of evil,the philosophy of the evil and the angle of the attack. The axioms are not just written to describe the problem intellectually but they are written in pronouncing opposition to the problem. They are written to wrestle with the problem in the mind . "How long must I wrestle with my thoughts?"
Psa 13:2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
God has made us to feel comfortable in our own skin by exercising the strength to overcome whatever is opposing us. So if we are wrestling with our thoughts we are overcome by our opposition. When we are overcome the pronouncements are not able to settle our thoughts. We experience sorrow. When we are wrestling with our thoughts we wrestle in receiving illumination. The Psalmist describes God's care of constraining us as the Shepherd carrying us. We must become strong enough to feel that we are overcoming the opposition.
Psa 13:4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
The most discouraging thoughts when we are not at peace is that the people who do not have our best interest will be able to over power us and destroy us. Since God made us to overcome opposition we define the fear as being in the hands of our enemies.
Psa 13:5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
The Psalmist continues to confide in God. He does not use the word of fleeing to God for refuge. When a person is forced into a corner he will speak the curses fearing that he is desperate. God always solves the problem in ways that are surprising. We must always trust in His axioms.
Psa 13:5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
The Psalmist says that God always compensates us when we struggle. God will never deal with us without repaying us for our struggles. He is always buying back our weakness.

Psa 69:17 Do not hide your face from your servant; answer me quickly, for I am in trouble.
18 Come near and rescue me; redeem me because of my foes.
In this world we divide the troubles we face. We say there are troubles that come upon us that we do not deserve but there are also troubles we deserve. It was because of something we failed to do. And so we we conclude that there are troubles that we must pay the price.
But in the bible we find that our troubles are measured by life and death standards. Why do we divide our troubles? Why does the world tell us we made our bed and now must lay in it? Because the world is a place where we award good behavior and punish the bad. But the Psalmist teaches us that God measures life by redemption. You see history is not really measured by the world's scheme.
The Psalmist never divides good and bad. Instead he reverses the bad by speaking the axioms. He uses the bad to argue for his weakness. How can God reward a sinner ? Because Christ death did not make it possible for sinners to do something to pay for their sins. Christ death sealed the curse on some people and obtained salvation for God's chosen. If there is any hope of being delivered in this world the curse of the law must be applied to all those who will curse God.
Our only hope is to die with Christ and be raised with Him to walk in continue deliverance. You see we who are delivered are always being saved by dieing. We are always speaking the curse of the law because we have failed to keep it.
If we think we have obeyed God's law then we deserve to be treated better or according to our efforts. God will accept our prayers because we are law keepers. But since Christ suffered the wrath of His Father how can we claim that we deserve to be accepted? We are saying that our works make God obligated to treat us like Christ. This is worse than the most vile sin.
So God had to curse anyone who comes on his own obedience. The least sinner and the worse sinner are made equal because everyone must die first in order to be acceptable to God . So we wish the curses on those who come without dieing.

Psa 143:12 In your unfailing love, silence my enemies; destroy all my foes, for I am your servant."
In the world a person who is the traitor or the person who has just committed the same sin over and over deserves to be punished. But in the Christian context this man is still worthy or must be the most worthy to speak the axioms.
Why does God reward the man who is the most undeserving? Because if any person has committed the smallest offense or has failed to meet the demands of the law by not measuring up then he deserves to be cursed in the same way that the scoundrel deserves. So we are always weak scoundrels arguing that the better man deserves to be cursed. If we do not feel undeserving and guilty for being worse than the other person then we are to confident in our worthiness
This is why we are double minded. We have not understood that Christ is exalted by our sinfulness. So we learn in being loyal as His undeserving servant to stop measuring our sin and see that we must cast ourselves on His death because we are sinners who live in a world that wants to be deserving of God's rewards. We learn through the curse that we are scoundrels arguing for His grace by being the traitor.

Psa 30:1 I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me." When the psalmist pronounces axioms, he always places himself in the hands of God. he's familiar with the use of the law curses empowering pledges decrees and statutes intimately understands that God is adequately communicating with him through specific circumstances and notable issues in this active life. Because he pronounces eternal curses rightly, he's always concentrated on God's creative path by prostrating opposition. When he laterally experiences the hurt of his spirit and flesh he unfeignedly believes that God has courteously allowed him to suffer consciously in justified wrath directed against his fearsome adversaries. When we naturally learn to gasp logical axioms, we're explosively advised to precisely manipulate our considerable mournings to our distinctadvantage.However, also He's moved to come to our aid, If God consciously went to similar logical axes in nicely demanding our sin and suffering upon His Son to reliably deliver us from sin and its consequences. God has deliberately given us moral axioms to madly support us, precisely manipulate our suffering to our relative advantage, and earnestly counsel us to attractively estimate the relief ofChrist.However, who can be against us? This New Testament pledge isn't realistic, “ If God is for us. It's an absolute guarantee that we unfeignedly enjoy uninterrupted protection in this evil world against the vituperative plans of the wretched devil. Thus, abecedarian axioms generally keep us from getting undecided. Directing our exclusive attention to master the determined adversary at any accessible time. We feel deficient and gradationally increase our exclusive attention. The justified wrath of God lies in the authoritative protestation of the eternal curse of the moral law against thewicked.However, we're still obliged to freely gasp the eternal curses, If we'vesinned.However, we continue to observe God by speaking holistically, If we limit ourselves to having particular dubieties that our sin curses. We learn how unworthy we're in Christ because great wrongdoers who don't earn to curse other wrongdoers plaintively must be pious in Him because we're His faithful retainers

Psa 65:5 You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas,"
The Psalmist is teaching that we are always tempted to make judgements about what God is accomplishing on the world by focusing on the success of ministries around the world limiting God to man's schedule. But God's works are shown by the supernatural words of the axioms. You see we must be limited by human frailty and the limits of time. We are not like God who is more generous in wanting us to think big ideas so that we trust Him for big things. God simply speaks a word and the world is united.
The Psalmist is teaching that we can pronounce the axioms and lose everything in this world and still God will show Himself faithful. We must learn to go against the entire world and trust God's unity of pronouncing.
The Psalmist is teaching that God pronounced unity in creating a world that shows He is more gracious than man has the strength to believe. We are very weak in thinking like God thinks into reality. We are always lowering expectations because we naturally feel comfortable in Theological systems. But God wants to bless people who must be stretched by speaking eternal axioms that control the world. When we think like God we understand His grace that He is more forgiving than we think He is.
The Psalmist has learn to get all of His counsel in speaking the axioms. We must not be satisfied with the normal standards that are in religious circles. We can only be satisfied when our pronouncing has unified the entire creation. We can only rejoice when we are experiencing supernatural strength to keep us going because God has unified our gifts with our circumstances in stretching us beyond what we could do in our natural strength. God is more generous than we have ever been taught in our life time. AR

2Psa 11:1 In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain.
The Psalmist is teaching that a Nation can only survive when the citizens speak in agreement with the word of God. The Serpent in the garden redefined that word and man fell into sin and the curse. With sin comes violence. We redefine God's word which is a violent act.
From the beginning of time through many generations man has not only redefined God's word but he has perfected his rebellion in adding to his schemes. So the Psalmist is teaching when violence breaks out God's elect want to get away from the violence.
Psa 11:2 For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
We were created to glorify God. Before man fell into sin he spoke the axioms. But when we fell into sin we began to redefine the axioms in order to become our own god. When we create idols we not only hate God but we hate His people. Man's schemes are directed toward the saints.
Psa 11:3 When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Gods axioms must never be redefined. But man has become professional from one generation to another in creating a violent world that rewards violence. We are born in a world that has been thrown into chaos. But God front loaded the axioms in order to destroy man in his rebellion by cursing lawbreakers. The judgement for rebellion is taken care by God in His eternal counsel.
Psa 11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them.
Psa 11:5 The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates.
All men stand face to face with God. He has order all things in His eternal counsel. All men stand before God who judges every though and intent of the heart. If the wicked cannot escape God's examination then how are they gonna escape the curse of the law? So God never lowers His standard in the law. The curses will always be added to the rebellion and sin. The Psalmist is teaching that God Himself is the Judge who pronounces the curses upon the wicked. We just pronounce what God has already determined in His eternal counsel.
Psa 11:6 On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot.
Psa 11:7 For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see his face.
A lot of Theologians teach that God's hate is not destructive since He allows the wicked time to repent. But the Psalmist teaches here that God's hate is His pronouncement of the curse on behalf of His saints . We are simply praying this pronouncement that God has already decreed in His eternal counsel. He has given us a creative pronouncement for our defense.

Ps 63 1 O God, you're my God, I seek you diligently; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and sick land where there's no water."
The crucial question is"Why do we who curse the social the schism that's designedly caused by the wicked one whom God has cursed? Why do we suffer from hunger, sickness and thirst like the wicked?" Then endures a venerable man who spent his life crying out to God. In the psalms he laterally endured the gentle hand of God who effectively delivered a major palm in annihilating his revengeful foes only to inescapably suffer the same curses that claimed correctly theirs. Violent lives? We find David with corresponding words of moral law, covenants, curses, decrees, rulings and promises that cry out in physical suffering. In his innocent suffering he defies the adversaries led by God with impunity. Psa 639 Those who seek my life will be destroyed; they will descend into the depths of the earth. Will we adequately develop harmonious fidelity if we suffer consciously? Ps 6311 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear in the name of God will praise him, while the mouths of prevaricators will be silenced." You see, we may inaptly suppose that David simply feels the same love in"my soul clings to you or I'll bless you or your power and your glory". But the Psalmist convincingly demonstrates his fierce fidelity to the Lord. It's the evident striking contradiction of life when we, who adequately represent the leaders of God's joy, fall into the condition of wicked people and suffer the goods of the curse. When we spend long hours cursing the evil curse of the wicked and God has snappily captured them into our hands, we don't retreat or aggressively question God when we endure the pains of the evil curse. We constantly cleave to the same God who has faithfully done fine workshop on our behalf. Because we know from vast experience that God is each there's and there's no bone differently who can adequately gain our precious help.

Will we adequately develop harmonious fidelity if we suffer consciously? Ps 6311 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear in the name of God will praise him, while the mouths of prevaricators will be silenced." You see, we may inaptly suppose that David simply feels the same love in"my soul clings to you or I'll bless you or your power and your glory". But the Psalmist convincingly demonstrates his fierce fidelity to the Lord. It's the evident striking contradiction of life when we, who adequately represent the leaders of God's joy, fall into the condition of wicked people and suffer the goods of the curse. When we spend long hours cursing the evil curse of the wicked and God has snappily captured them into our hands, we don't retreat or aggressively question God when we endure the pains of the evil curse. We constantly cleave to the same God who has faithfully done fine workshop on our behalf. Because we know from vast experience that God is each there's and there's no bone differently who can adequately gain our precious help.
Psa 28:1 To you I call, O LORD my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone down to the pit."
Do you ever think that we spend a lot of time thinking about how we are acting and much how we need to fear God. But do you consider that God created us for Him and not our performing for Him? This is God's world that is a history of God's performance. After all God does not need us to add to His stamp on the history of redemption. So we learn from the Psalmist that we would be much more secure and cheerful if we stopped taking the glory in thinking that our history was significant. We are to magnify and praise God for His works.
Did you ever consider that most of the celebrating of the OT church centered around Isreal deliverance from Ejypt? If you think about it God had to do a work that was impossible humanly speaking. He had to take 100s of thousands of people across a dangerous land with no supplies and no way of sustaining their lives. In moving from one place to another they had no time to farm or attend to the sickness of the people. You see God not only had to do all the work but He had it written down for our learning so that He would encourage us who live with all of our needs being met to depend upon Him.
God teaching is centered around this extreme example of making His people totally dependent on Him for everything. This is why we find the focus of the Psalmist is on our speech so that we will learn to focus on God's works and not us.

Psalm 34 I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips."The Psalmist is teaching that we must always look away from ourselves to the Lord. We must always use the law,covenants curses,promises,decrees and statutes to focus on Him in a small circumspect way. The Lord loves to hear from us and is ready to meet our need
But He wants us to be focused on Him with expectancy. We must learn to be disciplined in constant prayer.
1Psa 34:4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears." He is teaching that we are always in need of deliverance from ourselves and the dangers in this world. We are very blind because we trust too much in our own abilities. We must learn to confide in Jehovah for everything.
Psa 34:5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame". If we disciplined ourselves God will build a protective refuge by illuminating the traps that we must avoid and provide a safe refuge so that we avoid being shameful. When we focus on meditation we developed a quiet and gentle nature.
Psa 34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them." We do not only face dangers from the world but we are caught in a spiritual battle. We face dangers from the realms of spiritual enemies. The Psalmist ask the Angel of the Lord to defend him. The devil wants us to suffer under the power of the curses. We speak the Psalms and be protected from the fatal wound of the Devil 2Sa 19:32 Now Barzillai was a very old man, eighty years of age. He had provided for the king during his stay in Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy man." Maha-naim -two camps of Jacobs vision ,afterword to be noted in David's history.
Psa 34:8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. Most of us read over the verses and seldom meditate on a verse. The Psalmist feeds himself by chewing on each verse. He learns by constantly repeating the verse to find more interest than just an understanding of the axioms. He learns to get a spiritual sense. It is an experience. He experiences a flow of life that is fulfilling and pleasing to his senses. This constant taste of the word grows into a longing for more of God. He finds himself going over and over the verses until he is animated with the life of God.
In my personal experience with meditation over 40 years I have never felt bored. I've repeated the Psalms millions of times. I have learned to look at everything in my life through them. I usually meditate on two verses and then after 5minutes I grow warm and get a sense of pleasure and satisfaction. We I go through a trial they cut through my emotions. There is no middle ground. I've been so drawn away at times in my life that I ask Him to stop this flow of pleasure. At times when I am rest He will talk to me in my thoughts about a solution toy problems. Now I depend upon this talk. I believe this is what the Psalmist teach about being counseled. You see the word leads to the Person. These words are always spoken words. We are hearing God speak in His word. He accompanies His word by drawing near. We can pray the Psalms and sense there is another Person in the room. Oh taste and see !
