 This Psalm is one of my longtime favorites. It is a Psalm that I spoke a million times throughout my 30 years of private meditation. I think we must, first of all, appreciate the approach that David takes as he rules over Israel. I've carefully presented this accurately throughout my years of writing. The Bible describes the dreadful state of man in sin. Sin has prompted the man to be his own god. The capable man was originally one with all that God created. He properly enjoyed fellowship and was given rule over the earth. These descriptive details of man's legitimate position before the fall are identified in the God-Man. In Christ's active ministry, we follow Him determining the created elements and healing everyone with the disease. As Christ walked from one local city to another He acted perfectly toward Father in a face-to-face relationship. Not solely did the exalted Christ accomplish all things together as God but He acted as the man to bring salvation and deliverance through the aforesaid creative hand.

 You see in the Psalms the standard usage of anthropomorphism. Clearly describing God who is a spirit who had no parts in a familiar language that we can accurately understand. These human descriptions are put in the context of how God produces something from nothing. This distinguishes God from a man in that every tool of man, even the language is borrowed from God. When we are talking about the law, it is a distortion to present it as just a tablet of ten things that we do to prove we have faith. God cannot act with the capable hand, mighty arm, feet, without His law. God has already established all things being held together by law, established through the Psalmist use of anthropomorphism.
