Ps 73 3For I envied the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked."

The Psalmist is teaching that our only hope of being secure in this world is knowing God. If we have God then we are always receiving a blessing. So the question is why is it that we feel so insecure in this world? Why do we feel inferior in a world that was created and sustained by God? And the answer is because of sin and corruption that exist from the beginning of time. When Adam fell into sin , he began to redefine Gods word. The human race began to destroy the world by creating a culture of violence. Through many generation an evil society evolved. So now we are born in a world  that has been turned upside down. Instead of finding security through the order that is established by the law, covenants, curses, statutes, decrees and promises we face a hidden agenda of threats and violence that drag us into alliances with little gods.  So God has spoken through the axioms with the foresight that we would face a world that is full of danger. We apply the sure defense and the successful offense in order to shield ourselves from the dangers of this upside down world.

We must understand that the presence of evil is compared to the presence of leaven. In the ot if you were to remove the threat of destruction from your dwelling you would go throughout the house and remove the smallest particle of leaven. You would meticulously clean the house from top to bottom. He is teaching that the presence of evil in this world makes it impossible for us within ourselves to avoid the appearance of evil. Because we must interact in a society that is turned upside down then we are always in danger of the accusations from our side of the interaction. The problem is that we may not purposely make an alliance of evil with the wicked but we cannot avoid the appearance because we may be deceived. In the incarnation Christ had to live among wicked men without aligning Himself with their wickedness. We have been declared righteous in Christ. We have been freed from being marked with the appearance of evil as sinners by the lawful pronouncement of the axioms.

Because the world was turned upside down the evil is rewarded and good is punished.  The rich profit by unjust means. Because God has created us to rule the earth we naturally want to prosper in this world. And because we interact with the wicked we cannot avoid being judged by our connection in the our business. Since the world is turned upside down we must use evil in order to advance our own prosperity. So God has given us the ability to use our own weakness for our own good by pronouncing the curses. In other words we have control over our sin and weakness by using the guilt and the sorrow to express our anger in the righteous curse. We cannot sweep the leaven out of the house by our own strength. We must pronounce the axioms in order to remove all the particles that are present. God has given us the ability to pronounce death on all opposition. We are only successful in this world by the process of renewal. We destroy our own envy in pronouncing the axioms.
