Thoughts on Psalm 10
Psalm 10 is cry out to God to judge the wicked.
The Psalmist starts off by crying out to God, asking Him why He is hiding, and why He isn’t doing anything in times of trouble. He goes on to describe the wicked.
The wicked blesses those who God hates. The wicked’s ways are always grievous. He cannot see judgment for what he is doing, and says that he will never be in adversity. His mouth is full of deceit, fraud, cursing, vanity, and mischief. He hides and ambushes the poor. The wicked say that God has forgotten what they have done.
Look at the ways of the wicked. Can you say that you do nothing that the wicked do? If you cannot, should you not stop, and repent?
The Psalmist continues by crying out again that God will judge the evil, and that the Lord will show the wicked people that God is real, and that God is there.
The Psalmist makes an interesting point about how the wicked think that God has forgotten or does not see what they do. In the end though, they suffer the consequences for their evil. Even though it seems like they are getting away with wickedness, God will judge them someday.
