^{Ps 20 3} May he remember all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings.
Selah
⁴ May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed."

I have written a lot about this teaching. I think there is a lot of confusion about the physical sacrifice and the power of the blessing and cursing. If you go to the Psalm where the Psalmist is teaching about the sacrifice you will see that their daily animal sacrifices became obnoxious to God.50  ¹³ Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats? ¹⁴ Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
fulfill your vows to the Most High, ¹⁵ and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."I believe the Psalmist is mocking them for trusting in the action of accomplishing the task of these daily sacrifices. I am not a two liner. A two liner would say that their hearts were not right in offering the sacrifices. But this context is comparing their orthodoxy of word and Spirit with the daily sacrifices. ¹⁶ But to the wicked, God says: "What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips? " So we have the final conclusion. ²³ He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him ^F96 the salvation of God." I think the Psalmist is using the "sacrifice of thank offerings" as a metaphor for the sacrifice of the heart. The Psalmist is comparing the elect are contrasted with wicked within the Sanctuary as preservation in the use of Gods word.¹⁵ and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me." The wicked replace the authority of the blessing and cursing in the pronouncements with these physical markers. ²¹ These things you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether ^F95 like you." He is saying that these people lower God by trying to gain acceptance through the physical acts of sacrifices. They are trying to control God.

 So God says that He must be exalted or lifted up above trusting in these physical things .In other words our natural desire in the sanctuary is to be accepted  by attendance as a worshiper , the acceptance of others in the christian context,  or through our offering, or describing the holy act according to a time frame. But Gods worship is obtained by spiritual violence. We lower God by subjecting Him to time and physical markers..we exalt God by the spiritual work He has accomplished in blessing and cursing.

Worship is being separated from the curse of the wicked and being accepted by the blessing of the righteous. In other words the thankful heart is destroying sin and opposition through the pronouncement of death. The worship is like being baptized into the death of Christ ..not by re-crucifying Him but by the pronouncement of the curses and being raised in entering the world arena or overcoming all opposition in Gods kingdom. In other words the thank offering of the heart is defined in this life and death arena..not the life and death of the animal. This is why the Psalmist says that "sacrifices of God are a broken and contrite heart."

This idea of cursing and blessing as the metaphor for the sacrifices that are discussed in the Psalms not taught in our present day. But the Psalms are written in pronouncements of the law, covenants, curses etc ..like they are placing the sins of the people on the animal by pronouncement. The ashes of the sacrifice are a metaphor for the curses coming together with the blessing as being made transparent by purifying the soul through burning up the defective image. Its being purified by experiencing mystery. This is when the curse comes together with the blessing. When the Psalms open up it is always in the context of praise, or exalting God and not acceptance after the physical sacrifice. So the context is the using the pronouncements as  the condition of a thankful heart. So the Psalmist here in Ps 20 is using these pronouncements as creative word on behalf of Gods people.
