PSALM 10
THE ARGUMENT
This Psalm contains David’s complaint unto God against his malicious enemies, especially those of his own people, whose wicked and deceitful practices he here describes, and then commits his cause to God, and begs his help against them.
The psalmist complaineth of God’s hiding himself, Psa_10:1; and of the outrage and pride of the wicked, Psa_10:2-5. The language, Psa_10:6,7, and malicious practice of the wicked, Psa_10:8-10, and their denying God’s omniscience, Psa_10:11. David prayeth for remedy against and punishment upon, the wicked, Psa_10:12-15; and acknowledgeth God’s mercy in hearing the oppressed, Psa_10:16-18.
Why standest thou afar off, like one that neither sees, nor hears, nor regards me, nor intendest any help for me?
Thyself, or, thy face, out of Psa_10:11, which did sometimes shine upon me; or, thine eyes, by comparing this with Pro_28:27 Isa_1:15.
In times of trouble, when I most need thy pity and succour. Do not add affliction to the afflicted.
