6Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and
make music to the LORD . God shows His pleasure in the atonement by
destroying all of our enemies. The ot sacrifice was the ceremony of war9 17The wicked return to the grave, all the nations that forget God. "
Silence is Gods anger expressed in the curse that brings pain. The pain
of silence of God is the judgement on the wicked.10 12Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless."
We were never created to endure pain. Adam and eve were pain free. So
when the Psalmist complains about pain it is Gods forgetfulness of the
creation covenant.The only theologians that teach that God uses pain are the ones who reject the curses. CS Lewis is one of them.13 1 How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you
hide your face from me?
If you want to understand the use of pain then speak the Psalms. The
Psalmist is asking God why he is being treated like the wicked who must
endure Gods silence.44 24 Why do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression?
What is the metaphor for Gods forgetfulness. Misery and oppression=pain.69 For they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of those
you hurt." Instead of cursing in the Psalms people use pain to control
others.God controls pain. But we are not under the curse. When we were freed
from the curse we returned to the garden circumstances.God keeps His
creation covenant.The Psalmist complains that God is treating him like the wicked when he experiences soul and body pain.The scorn, oppression, the trap,guilt, shame,insult, pain, sin and corruption are all objects of the pronouncement of the curse.The scorn, oppression, the trap,guilt, shame,insult, pain, sin and
corruption are all objects of the pronouncement of the curse. These
attributes are used by the wicked to gain power.69 26 For they persecute those you wound and talk about the pain of
those you hurt. 27 Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them
share in your salvation. 28 May they be blotted out of the book of life
and not be listed with the righteous." The wish of the death of painis the only way that we can escape the use of pain. Pain produces
weakness in opposition to the corruption. Pain forces people make
decisions they do not desire. Every person has an experience of the
power of pain and uses it to control others.
