through the unfailing love of the Most High
he will not be shaken."
The Psalmist is teaching us how to unite our desires with Gods. In the first verse he says that God has given him the desire of his heart. All of our frustration is due to not knowing God and ourselves. The point of meditating on the gifts is to discover who we are by knowing God. The law covenants, curses, decrees etc. answer our needs and refine our desires and longings.
God from eternity past has decreed whatsoever comes to pass in time. In
other words our frustration is to experience disunity with Gods order
in speaking creation and recreation from nothing. You see the beauty of
creation. Everyone has a personal view of that beauty. The Psalmist is
saying that the gifts refine his desires so that he experiences the
unity of creation in refining his longings.God did not create man to
fulfill His need to experience the pleasure of His creation. Frustration
is experience when we bring God down man making man part of Gods work.
The Psalmist is saying that we are in Gods world.
The world is ordered by Gods strength, desire , blessing,splendor ,majesty, love, and defense. If God were to change then the world would cease to exist. You see that satisfaction is knowing that God orders all things. It is uniting Gods desire with our view of all of our experiences. Pronouncing the gifts increase our desires and create our view. The more that we experience the pleasure of God in our activity the more we are satisfied. He is not just saying that its Gods world and Gods war with Satan. But he is saying that that his history of pronouncing in his view of the events has satisfied his desires because they are untied with Gods.
Anytime David talks about his own happiness, joy and praise it is always holistic in the use of the gifts. All events that we go through in life are view according to our own experience. It is only real according to our view. How we understand God and how our desires are refined by the gifts is how we experience the events in our lives. Our memories of the physical part of the event will always betray us but how we desired in experiencing the event is timeless. When David says that God has given him the desire of his heart, he is talking about his desire in a timeless eternal sense of history. He is describing the desire in the context of the glory of God as he remembers the past events. The only way that he could speak of God ordering all the events is by His view.
