Ps 31 5 Into your hands I commit my spirit;
redeem me, O LORD , the God of truth".
The Psalmist is making a confession to unite his trust in Gods refuge. Gods refuge is resting in Christ righteousness. The Psalmist believes that Gods righteousness is successful over all opposition because He is the Rock of Israel. The Rock of Israel is the commander of Israels armies. He is always successful in winning Israels wars. Gods kingdom on earth is established by God carrying out His law over the nations.

This is what the Psalms means by standing in Gods righteousness. He is totally secure within the walls of Jerusalem. Because God cannot be thwarted the Psalmist expresses his trust in God by the petition to prevent him from the trap of those who oppose Gods kingdom. This trap is being threatened and captured by his accusers. He has pronounced Gods laws, decrees, covenants, curses and promises that bring about Gods recreation of the Psalmist experience. This means that the Psalmist has encountered opposition. The world is a place when we stand for something we are opposed. There is no peace in a sinful and corrupt world. This opposition is always voiced in the atheistic pronouncement of he trust in God, let God deliver him. The humanist is saying that Gods silence is proof that God does not exist. They are always tempting the christian to put their trust in other gods.
This is the sword that the opposition uses to give Gods people a mortal wound. The Psalmist believes that there is a conspiracy that is natural in a corrupt world. If all men were perfect then they would promote Gods purposes by example. But every time a person sins they place an obstacle in the way of Gods purposes.Out of this natural communication comes these conspiracies. This is why sometimes you see a new born Christian whos trust is more pure and genuine than a mature christian. The fact that the mature christian does not rise up to the genuineness of his confession is like a stumbling block to the new born.This shows us that our growth must come as a result of extreme effort to kill anything that causes us to lose touch with our first love. Cursing is so extreme that we are always brought back to that first freedom.
We should always be able to find the christian attitude that the scripture encourages as a matter of discipline. In other words if there is rejoicing we should be able to display that by our control over our hearts. And if it is sorrow we should be able to control that so that we can be of help to those new Christians. Whatever they display as genuine because it is new should be greater under our mature control. So the Psalmist is confessing the way to overcome all opposition and sealing it by giving himself into Gods hands. This is emptying ourselves in the christian life.

Ps 10 1 Why, O LORD , do you stand far off?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?"
We are taught that if we do not take care of ourselves that we should not expect to get along in this world. But this Psalm is teaching us that God controls the health and success of mankind. You will find if you get old enough that you begin to sleep more and experience pain and susceptibility to be more dependent on others.

When we are a young we are strong and proficient in our occupation. But we are more susceptible to facing troubles as a result being married and having kids. So its easy for us to believe that we are strong enough to face our troubles and be success. But when we look around we see families being destroy, kids being abandon, elderly people being neglected, and our nation that is in great debt.
If you think about the history of nations that have failed you will find that the evolution and increase of evil follows the same kind of track. We must understand that there is no nation on earth that has gotten better. In other words if put the decline on graft you will find that the line is steadily going down until it no longer exist by Gods standards of law. We must begin to understand that we all are very weak and susceptible to being in culture that is turned upside down. We must begin to look at the real facts. We cannot keep following the promise that things will get better. We must stop believing that the carrot of the promise of good things to those who work hard that we are chasing ..that we are gonna catch.
We must understand that God turns nations upside down so that He exalts the weak. This Psalm is teaching that the man who is known as the go getter is the evil man that the Psalmist is describing in this Psalm. He is what we call the self made man. You hear the song" I did it my way" that is sung by Frank Sinatra is looked up as the way to advance in this world. But this Psalm is teaching that man in his natural desires uses Gods law for for his own benefit. The wicked self made man redefines Gods law.At some point in the history of a nation you find that the leaders are the self made men who abuse the weak and helpless. The Psalmist is teaching that we must be people who are weak in this world. He is exalting the weak not the strong.
The truth is that the elect are called by God to be depend upon God. In order for us to learn dependence we must fail in this world. We must be taken advantage of and face an insecure future and a lessening of our physical strength. You see the truth is that all of us are heading toward being dependent in our lives. Because everyone faces the problems of old age. We must understand in this world were we began to be successful we find that it begins to be turned upside down. We are all self deceived about how weak we are. And we do not naturally glory in our weakness.

Ps 145 15 The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food at the proper time.
16 You open your hand
and satisfy the desires of every living thing."

This is the maxim that we are required to confess on a daily basis. Gods right hand is the agent by which all things are created and recreated. If we are saved out of trouble it is because God worked it out with His right hand. This shows that Gods justice is absolutely perfect and all powerful. Our happiness is our trust in Gods movement in our lives that does not seem to be right from our view.If we are to enjoy God for giving us all things and fulfilling our desires then we must understand that those things that we lack or that are taken from us , are done for the purpose of giving us a gift that is greater or more satisfying.
This means that God does not share His giving us gifts with any man. This is why God saved us by grace. Grace is a free gift of God. God gives grace liberally. Our problem is that we have a hard time trusting that Gods grace is as good as it is. So we get our eyes on the means of faith and not on the giver of grace. If we were able to focus on God and learn how to extol Him then we would be able to rejoice in His pleasure of creating the circumstances by which He fulfills our needs. Then we could learn how to ignore the praise of men or the gifts that men give.
The Psalms teach us to extol God for His generosity. So we learn that as are praising Him the gifts that He gives seem to be more valuable and in greater number. This teaches us to always be ready to receive the greater gifts .The apostle teaches that God has given each one of us a set of gifts .But God is able to give us more gifts if we seek Him. In other words we may be good at a specific occupation but then because we are focused on God as the giver we may receive greater spiritual gifts.There is not amount of gifts that God will not give us if we seek Him.
We must understand that God is sovereign over all things and in every space.This means that He could fellowship with us because He is in us and around us and through us. So in meeting our needs God is ready at all times to give us Himself. Just think of it like this. If God who is always loving , kind , faithful, generous, long suffering and gentle draws near to us then this fellowship that we have prevents us from falling back into a pattern where we are questioning His goodness by not being focused on His giving. The Psalms teach us to extol God and magnify Him so that He is pleased to draw near to us so that we are saved from weakness and unthankfulness.

Ps 29 9The voice of the LORD twists the oaks
and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, "Glory!"
The Psalmist is describing a natural disaster that is created by Gods spoken word. God speaks everything into existence. When we see the creation and examine the beauty and symmetry we can describe it in a language. We can use hyperbole and all kinds of forms of speech in order to express our emotional reaction in viewing the creation. So we see that Gods speaks the creation into existence and it speaks as an explanation of Gods attributes and character.
How does God create something through His word? He creates it according to His pleasure. The purpose of Gods original creation was to pronounce that it was good on the 7th day. God was pleased with His handiwork. This idea is where we get the doctrine of free grace. Free grace creates the same circumstances as if God were standing back and admiring His creation. Its hard for us to believe that a storm is a display of Gods beauty and pleasure. We must understand that all of creation as we view it, is a display of Gods work alone. Our view and experience of Gods creation will describe how much we know God. In other words in a storm we face real danger that forces us to look at our helplessness to escape it. In this sense we are put in Gods hands and forced to trust in God alone. This is what the Psalmist is comparing with God speaking in the temple.
Before sin entered the world there was no communication of violence. There was no opposition in man because there was no presence of corruption and sin. There was no such thing as a violent action in the garden. But the violence was introduced by the Serpent. When man fell into sin God had to address the sin by demanding vengeance and punishment. You see that man became violent and God opposed man with vindicating His perfection and beauty. Here the Psalmist is describing Gods voice as a violent opposition to violence of the wicked that steals the peace of His people. The purpose of this Psalm is to extol Gods judgements of the storm and then after the storm is finished there is peace.
This is how the Psalmist builds his case for Gods judgements. We must understand that the presence of evil and corruption fuel the destructive disaster that could always exist that would produce the destruction of mankind. Because God is gracious after man fell, he took the power from man to be as bad as man could be. God in his grace , cursed mankind and the creation. This voice the Psalmist is describing is the reaction of God to the opposition to Gods elect. God responded to wicked men by destroying them in a display of His fury and power in the presence of His people who gather in the Temple.This Psalm is teaching that Gods awful judgements that are displayed in the storm is His ability to carry out His law on law breakers. Here we see Gods actions that are described in a world of men who are unable to produce the effects that bring about the kind of peace that is a result of the huge effects of a storm.
Here we see that the production of the entire event of the disaster is compared to the voice of Gods curse toward law breakers. We are taught that as we experience the power and the work in the storm so the curse of God is the inward ability given to us to feel the power of Gods wrath and rise up to the line between blessing and cursing and experience the peace of God. We naturally want to do things to bring peace into our lives. But Gods peace does not depend upon circumstances. Gods peace is already established in His absolute rule over the earth. In this day and age we are taught two line theology. We like to be in between absolute peace that is promised by God and our walk on earth where we cannot control the peace. So we describe God as the person who is sovereign who brings things into our lives that we do not understand. Thats the answer to the question as to why we feel anxious.
In this scenario we are always encouraging the attitude hat God is slack in His defense of us. Which enforces our attitude of resignation. Two line teaches us that God is sometimes the boogie man behind the door who checks our wills. We learn to be resigning people instead of defenders. But we are taught in the Psalms that Gods judgements are absolute just like His blessing and cursing. In other words our efforts to establish Gods peace are fruitless. No matter how hard we try to resign to the violence in this world we still will not overcome the threats until God establishes peace through the curse. There is no such teaching in scripture where those two lines do not meet. Gods sovereignty is purposed to defend His elect because the curse of the law is never satisfied until it is fully carried out. The only time that peace is present and established is when all opposition has be destroyed through the curse. This is why we spend years in pronouncing the curses so that we can experience the peace of God through strength. Until the opposition is destroyed we will always experience tribulation. Gods sovereign action is always to defend His purposes.

Ps 8 let the LORD judge the peoples.
Judge me, O LORD , according to my righteousness,
according to my integrity, O Most High.
9 O righteous God,
who searches minds and hearts,
bring to an end the violence of the wicked
and make the righteous secure."

The Psalmist is petitioning God to come to the aid of His elect. He has been teaching that when sin entered the world it brought violence. You can almost interchange the word "violence" with "sin". 11 5The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates.27 12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.58 2 No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.(parallelism) So sin and corruption in heart and deed is the personality of violence.
When the Psalmist petitions God to judge His people according His justice he is not saying that God will find them perfect in heart and deed. The context of Gods justice is found in the war with the wicked who speak threats. The Psalmist is standing in the place of Gods people and justifying their need for the protection of God. Gods people are never described as violent or threatening. Only in a legal war do they have justification.
The Psalmist is saying that all of the opposition to the saints comes from the sin that brought violence into the world. He is asking God to search the hearts and minds because from the beginning of time the wicked have devised schemes to overturn Gods law and His people. So if God looks at each thought that produced the present opposition to the righteous and judge those plans of the wicked then the saints would overcome all violence. The saints would live in a secure city.
So we must break everything down to communication that works out into plans. If the wicked did not exist then there would be no incident of planning their bad deeds. He is teaching that when the saints struggle we are always at war with a present culture that has been devised by generations of wicked men. And if we were to think of how much power we had to change the course of generations of violence that have created the rules and the pragmatic communication in the society it would be beyond our pay scale. This is the Psalmist frustration. You see he faces an opposition that must be punished on a thought level. This is why God curses law breakers. Because man has no power to reverse the evolution of evil schemes that have taken years to implement. But Gods law was never violated without Gods avenging. So Gods law that curses evil men is always the same even tho it is delayed to the day judgement.

Ps 6 4Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love."
If we do not know that God loves us with an unfailing love then we will not know who we are nor will we understand anyone else. The reason is that God decided to legally put a price on everything that He created. And so God demands the perfect payment or He will enact justice in order to get the payment. But our knowledge of ourselves was given in His law as a mirror. In other words if we fulfilled His law then we would have a perfect self knowledge and thus a perfect understanding of every one else.Now you see why we are so complicated and emotional. Because we never measure up to His mirror so that we can be true to ourselves. So what God has done is to give us another righteousness that defines His eternal love for us. In other words because Christ fulfilled the law He fixed our mirror.

Now when we become fixed God reverses the way that we view right and wrong. Instead of Him dealing with us as sinners, He deals with us as perfect in Christ. This is what we call the state of grace. The value of our imperfection is renewed by God acting on behalf of Christ righteousness towards us. So now when we sin, we learn to hate sin because it is not as successful in our knowing ourselves as Christ imputed righteousness, This is why the Apostle said that all His confidence and protection was in Christ.
Its hard for people in this world who want karma to understand that when we do wrong it is covered by someone else. You see they want the justice to be like what they always find when they break the law. They must pay. But you see that desire is why they are slaves to the law. They are blind to our being set free from the law as a way to push the destructive personal vengeance desire away from our being accepted. They do not understand that our acceptance in Christ is the communication that God loves us with an unfailing love. So they do not understand what God does to us as a Father.

The Psalmist is making a confession to unite his trust in Gods refuge. Gods refuge is resting in Christ righteousness.
