PSALM 10

PSALM 10

Does God hide (1–4)? “Why do the wicked prosper?” is a perennial question God’s people ask. As they consider the suffering of the godly and the security of the ungodly, they feel that God has forgotten and forsaken His people. He is hiding.

Does God hear (5–13)? Note the repetition of “He has said in his heart” (vv. 6, 11, 13). God hears what the ungodly say and does not approve of their pride and rebellion. The ungodly announces, “I shall not be moved! God does not see what I do! Even if He does, He will never judge me!” What arrogance!

Does God help (14–18)? Of course He does! He sees the trouble of His people, feels their grief, and helps them in the right way at the right time. After all, the Lord is King! It may look as though the ungodly are winning the day, but the Lord will triumph in the end.
