Ps138 2b for your love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.
³ When I called, you answered me;
you made me bold and stouthearted."

God is the God of all gods of the earth. This means that no one has a right to claim they are the absolute judge. An absolute judge has the power of cursing and blessing. The absolute judge must be able to allow and prevent by having omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence. So God must reveal His control over everything. God reveals that control by gifting us with His word. Gods word is His revealed judge. This is why the Psalmist is connecting the Name of God with His word. Gods word has designed , created and renewed all things. He spoke all reality into existence. So God rules over everything.

Without Gods word nothing would exist This why the presence of love and faithfulness is the basis of the existence of God. If only man existed there would be no presence of love and faithfulness. So we need Gods word like we are dependent upon food to live. We must understand that Gods word is the word of blessing. Everything that was created by God must be under the authority of Gods word or it is cursed. If there is any corruption in the creation then it must be put to death. The Psalmist is using these twin terms as a metaphor for Israels sojourn to the promise land. God led them out of Egypt  and protected their rear by fire and cloud. The love and the faithfulness , word and name was seen in Gods leading in fire and cloud.In order for God to provide Israel confidence and safety He created their defense in the curse and He provided their success in the blessing.

We must understand that in order for anything to be restored to its original perfection in the creation it must die. And it must be given new life or recreated by God. So God provided a kind of sanctuary for Israel by destroying their enemies in pronouncing a curse as they advanced down that path. So in this sense as God destroyed their opposition He provided blessing in their way. This is a picture of salvation. So the Psalmist is describing the success of His meditation as metaphor for Israels sojourn. The Psalmist is using Gods spoken word in the law, covenants, curses, and promises the same way that God provided success on their way to the promise land.  So there is a relationship to the potential dangers that we face that are more than physical opposition. You see we live in a cursed world in this relationship with pain ,fear, guilt and sorrow. In other words how we react to these curses is how we live in blessing. We must understand that anytime we do not measure up to the law of God , it is like cursing ourselves. It is impossible for a christian to be condemned by the curse but it is possible that we could suffer with the effects.

So God has implanted in us His word. We are given the seed of the word of God. This word is complete. The word is both understandable and mysterious. Who can understand the depths of his own soul? But we do not believe in contradictions.  The word must meet our holistic desires. It must be united to our natural wants and meet our individual needs. The entire circumstance of our souls is a communication of Gods design and purpose. This communication that mysterious is the exhaustive description of His revealed word. The Palmist is saying that when he pronounces Gods revealed word it enlivens all of the mysterious desires and communications of according to Gods exhaustive description. This is why he says that his meditation made him bold and stouthearted. Its like being made aware of himself in a way that is pleasing. So the laws, covenants, etc are like an outline to Gods purposes and desires in creating and recreating.

So we can see that life is kind of like having fire in the hand and tossing it away. In other words any time we fail to desire what God desires then we are falling into a disposition is like our old life under the curse. In this sense the reminder of who we are is fortified in the exercise of pronouncing the curses and the blessings. The Psalmist describes it as Israel moving down the path that is recreated by God ⁷ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me." Its the way that we are taught to kill the sin by word and Spirit.
