1 Contend, O LORD , with those who contend with me; fight against those
who fight against me. Lit. Plead my cause against those who spread
violence through lawless law. Lawlessness and violence are the
opposition of Gods covenant twins of righteousness and faithfulness etc.5 May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD
driving them away; Salvation is being made alive by the breath of God.
Wind is the invisible work both inward and outward. The blessing and
cursing are manifestations of the invisible. The covenant is not limited to time and space. We must have a reasonable argument in
describing the invisible work that is manifested in visible. God does
not act in the mysterious way that has no reasonable explanation in His
revealed revelation.The axioms are the outline of Gods mysterious work. If we pronounce the
curse beyond our knowledge of the evil we would not be surprised if it
accomplished the prevention of that hidden evil. He is acknowledging
that an eternal covenant needs eternal protection.7 Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a
pit for me," The Psalmists writings are arguments for the justification
of fighting and winning legal wars. He never teaches that the wicked
have a just cause. We are required to swear upon the covenant to our own hurt. But the protection of God outweighs the danger of being
judged according to our covenant unfaithfulness. All the arguments
that prove covenant faithfulness are given to us according to Gods
pronouncements. If God will not allow anything outside of Himself to satisfy the law then He must present the case against us with
arguments that prove that He is faithful by substitution. We are being
experiential converted by pronouncing these covenant axioms.The circumstances- "chaff before the wind" They curse by the dead gods. Gods curses are eternal
"they hid their net, dug a pit". Metaphors for redefining Gods axioms
net they hid entangle them,they fall into the pit" They prepare their own destruction Blessing is the curse cursing the evil curse9 Then my soul will rejoice
in the LORD and delight in his salvation.
10 My whole being will exclaim, "Who is like you, O LORD ? Deliverance
is acknowledging our inability to save ourselves. We pronounce the
axioms and rejoice in Gods complete deliverance. The evil tactics - 11 Ruthless witnesses come
forward, question me on things I know nothing about. repay me evil for
good, leave my soul forlorn, gathered in glee; slandered me without
ceasing, maliciously mocked, gnashed their teeth 27 May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness;
may they always say, "The LORD be exalted, who delights in the
well-being of his servant." Pronouncing the axioms prevent us from being
tempted to become part of the evil progression. We are faithful
