9 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.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.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.27 Charge them with crime upon crime; do not let them share in your salvation. Lit. wishes the pain he experiences is the experience of the people who are talking about his pain.29 I am in pain and distress; may your salvation, O God, protect me. Lit. I am experiencing the effects of the curse like the wicked. Set me above the curse .Or let the curse of the law push the curse under my feet.91 1He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD , "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." The Psalmist is teaching that The Most High pronounces curses upon His enemies.He is our El Shaddai the God who creates. " I will say of the LORD" The Lord decrees when we pronounce the decrees. He rest in the creative power of the Most High. Pronouncing the curses protects us from the deadly strike.
