Psalms 10:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 10:12

10 So¹ he crouches, he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by his¹ strength.

11 He has said in his heart,
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”

12 Arise, O Lord!
O God, ^alift up Your hand!
Do not forget the ^bhumble.

13 Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an account.”

14 But You have ^aseen, for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless ^bcommits himself to You;
^cYou are the helper of the fatherless.

15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;
Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

16 ^aThe Lord is King forever and ever;
The nations have perished out of His land.

17 Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will prepare their heart;
You will cause Your ear to hear,
