Psalms 10 — Context

Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "God won't call me into account?"

But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.

Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.

Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more. For the Chief Musician. By David.
