Psalms 10:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 10:1

1 Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide in times of trouble?

2 The wicked in his pride¹ persecutes the poor;
^aLet them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

3 For the wicked ^aboasts of his heart’s desire;
He ^bblesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.

4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
¹God is in none of his ^athoughts.

5 His ways¹ are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

6 ^aHe has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
^bI shall never be in adversity.”

7 ^aHis mouth is full of cursing and ^bdeceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
