Psalms 10 — Context

Why has the wicked spurned God? He has said to himself, "You will not require it."

You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand. The unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the helper of the orphan.

Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer, Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

The LORD is King forever and ever; Nations have perished from His land.

O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear

To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror.
