The psalmist gainfully employs favorable attitudes like joy, praise, sorrow and humility in the holistic pronouncements of law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees. In being humble, we must pronounce the axioms to faithfully follow self-denial. Humility is not evading the truth of the bible to get along. Christian humility is shifting our childlike eyes off of ourselves, thinking of others better than ourselves. We are the more miserable sinner who defends the most vulnerable. We must distinguish between cursing gifts and selfish anger in the appropriate context of active recreation. The Psalmist fights and wins the victorious wars, displaying humility, being faithful, blameless, and pure in God's creative work. He promptly destroys the corrupted attitudes. God enables him to eliminate all of his determined enemies by the authoritative pronouncements of the axioms. Psalmist recreates the objective world by overcoming the opposition of the communist nations.
18 24The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight."my righteousness" The Psalmist fights and emphatically wins the fierce battles. At that point, he says 25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless 26to the pure you show yourself pure. We are united to Christ who unites the world by bringing our faithfulness, blamelessness, purity seamlessly together with substitution of Christ. The Psalmist succeeds in the war because God renews his corrupted motives that generate power when he fights. Consequently, humility is exercising power under control. Self-denial is regulating the law that addresses our skill in fighting the battles. We supernaturally push the destruction under our feet by the authoritative pronouncements. God unites His control with our intelligent control of the pronounced law by destroying grace.
