I have done justice and righteousness; Do not leave me to my oppressors. Be surety for Your servant for good; Do not let the proud oppress me.

My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation. And Your righteous word. Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy, And teach me Your statutes.

I am Your servant; Give me understanding, That I may know Your testimonies. It is time for You to act, O LORD, For they have regarded Your law as void. Therefore I love Your commandments More than gold, yes, than fine gold. Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things I consider to be right; I hate every false way.

This paragraph sums up the dichotomy that exists between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Man. This scribe, this lover of the Word of the LORD recognizes the precepts of the Kingdom of the Kingdom are right in all things. This contrasts starkly with the Kingdom of Man who regards the Law as void.

For example, consider the vitriolic arguments between the proponents of abortion and artificial insemination vs the followers of the principles of the sanctity of life. There is no common ground.
