We are saved by grace, not by works.  God has kept a remnant of faithful people.  The Psalm refers to the suffering of His servant,  the passion, and the gentiles.  Its God who gets us saved,  not us.  God makes us good enough.  When we say no, we're telling him he's not good enough.   Pray to God, he can give you the strength,  comfort,  and perseverance to do his will.  Sometimes people will say things about you that will be bad, but count them as suffering alongside Christ.  The psalm tells us some of Christ's suffering.   He went through all on the cross for us.  If people persecute you because of Christ. pray for them,  they are in strife.   The jews sin was that they could not see the light and preferred darkness.   If this is what we desire, we will be given over to their own lust, passion.  God will not shut anyone out from righteousness.  Acts 20:24 - our purpose.
