The Psalmist is teaching our sole hope of being secure in this ideal world is knowing God. If we genuinely enjoy God then we are constantly receiving a divine blessing. Consequently, the essential question why is it that we feel so timid in this chaotic world? Why do we feel inferior in a dying world that was created and sustained by God? And the answer because of sin and corruption that exist from the beginning of time. When Adam fell into sin, he inexplicably began redefining God's word. The human race began ruining the world by fostering a culture of violence. Through many generations, a sinister society evolved. Consequently, in the present circumstances, we are born in a world that has been turned upside down. Instead of gaining security through the order that is established by the law, covenants, curses, statutes, decrees, and promises, we face a hidden agenda of threats and violence that haul us into alliances with little gods. Hence, God has properly spoken through the axioms with the remarkable foresight that we would face a world teeming with formidable danger. We apply the effective defense and the successful offense to shield ourselves from the dangers of this upside-down world.

 Because the corrupt world was turned upside down the evil is rewarded and good is unjustly punished. The rich profit by unjust means. Because God has fashioned us to dominate the earth, we naturally want to prosper in this world. And because we interact with the wicked, we cannot prevent the examination by our connection in our business. Since the sustainable world is turned upside down we must use evil to sufficiently advance our own prosperity. Consequently, God has provided us the ability to exploit our own weakness for our own good by pronouncing the curses. Put differently, we have control over our sin and weakness by naturally using guilt and sorrow to conveniently express our anger in the legitimate curse. We cannot sweep the leaven out of the filthy house by our particular strength. We must pronounce the axioms to remove all the present particles. God has delivered us the offensive ability to pronounce death on all relentless opposition. We are completely successful in this world by the process of continual renewal. We forcibly prevent our own envy in pronouncing the axioms.

 We must understand the offensive presence of evil is compared unfavorably to the presence of leaven. In the old testament, if you were to eliminate the threat of destruction from your dwelling, you would go throughout the house and remove the minutest particle of leaven. You would meticulously clean the private house from top to bottom. He is teaching the presence of evil in this world makes it impossible to prevent the appearance of evil. Because we must interact in a society turned upside down, we are always in danger of accusations from our side of the interaction. The problem is we may not deliberately enter into an alliance of evil with the wicked, but we cannot prevent the appearance because we may be deceived. In the incarnation, Christ had to live vicariously among wicked men without aligning Himself with their wickedness. We have been declared righteously in Christ. We have been liberated from being marked with the appearance of evil as sinners by the lawful pronouncement of the axioms.
