Psalms 10 — Context

Why does the wicked man reject God? He says to himself,“You will not hold me accountable.”

You have taken notice, for you always see one who inflicts pain and suffering. The unfortunate victim entrusts his cause to you; you deliver the fatherless.

Break the arm of the wicked and evil man! Hold him accountable for his wicked deeds, which he thought you would not discover.

The LORD rules forever! The nations are driven out of his land.

LORD, you have heard the request of the oppressed; you make them feel secure because you listen to their prayer.

You defend the fatherless and oppressed, so that mere mortals may no longer terrorize them.
