Modern minds assume a tension where the psalmist assumes a harmony. If God loves the world and the people He has made, how could He ever judge them or find fault in them? Modern minds wrestle to understand how a loving Creator could sentence His creation to hell. Ancient minds understood that a loving Creator MUST judge His creation. It is a necessary and natural conclusion. Love demands justice and justice assumes love. If one loves, one must seek to stop anything that comes against its love. And if one is just, it is only because it loves something.
