Ps 30 9 "What gain is there in my destruction,
in my going down into the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O LORD , and be merciful to me;
O LORD , be my help."
The Psalmist teaches that the reason that we were put on this earth was to praise the Lord. When the Psalmist describes our lives as praise to God he is talking about the blessing that comes from calling on God or speaking the laws, decrees, statutes , curses and covenants.8 To you, O LORD , I called;to the Lord I cried for mercy:" Our cry for mercy is speaking the law against those who oppose us. Cursing the evil that we experience, pronouncing the covenants that are the foundation of our petitions and rolling every trouble that we experience over to God.
The Psalmist teaches that we are a praise to God because we repel death and destruction. Ps 30 1 To you I call, O LORD my Rock;do not turn a deaf ear to me.For if you remain silent,I will be like those who have gone down to the pit." The Psalmist fights the spiritual battle by opposing trouble that he faces. All troubles in the Psalmist are motivations to overcome the opposition through the curses and covenants. Death is an enemy that ends the life of pronouncement. He is teaching that troubles to the elect are like judgements upon the wicked. This is why the Psalmist says that 5 For his anger lasts only a moment,but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,but rejoicing comes in the morning". Our lives as the elect are supposed to be going from one morning to the next with hope of Gods intervention and a new level of praise. The psalmist complains to God by saying that when he experienced sorrow God was treating him like a wicked man. Gods anger or His favor is equal to the Psalmist experience of sorrow or joy.The whole point of this psychology is to enforce Gods covenant with His elect as a life of deliverance and praise. This is Gods covenant promise of blessing. For the Psalmist to experience trouble is being opposed by the curse and the wicked.
Some people teach that trouble is the normal experience of a christian. They lower Gods standard of relationship. They teach trouble as if letting into our bosom is humility. They do not understand that the curse has been taken by Christ. We have a responsibility to avoid abuse. The christian life is not a life of receiving abuse. We are taught that we must oppose the Devil and stand firm in the word and Spirit and he will flee from us. Our faith in Gods care of us is as strong as our familiarity with His blessing.Our fight with destruction in the curses is as passionate as the level of fellowship we have experienced with our Father. 7 O LORD , when you favored me,you made my mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face,I was dismayed."11 You turned my wailing into dancing;you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy," Wailing is not really the acceptance of the inevitable trouble but its the practice of cursing the opposition in being consumed in Gods anger. He goes from wailing to dancing. This is the disposition of deliverance that moves the Psalmist from one conversion to another.
Destruction is the threat from the language of the natural man. Every argument that turns the elect to look inward is a form of cursing God. When the elect turn the anger on themselves ..through weakness they are cursing God. Unlike the wicked who curse God with impunity. The Psalms teach that all of our evil opposition must be turned into positive motivations in the spirit of the curse. This is why it is very important to be taught the logic of deliverance. Naturally we accept the opposition as normal.
