9 He lurks in a hiding place as 1a lion in his lair; He 2lurks to catch 3the afflicted; He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his 4net.
10 He crouches, he bows down, And the unfortunate fall by his mighty ones.
11 He 5says to himself, "God has forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never * see it."
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, 6lift up Your hand. 7Do not forget the afflicted.
13 Why * has the wicked 8spurned God? He has said to himself, "You will not require it."
14 You have seen it, for You have beheld 9mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand. The 10unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the 11helper of the orphan.
15 12Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer, 13Seek out his wickedness until You find none.
16 The LORD is 14King forever and ever; 15Nations have perished from His land.
17 O LORD, You have heard the 16desire of the humble; You will 17strengthen their heart, 18You will incline Your ear
18 To vindicate the 19orphan and the 20oppressed, So that man who is of the earth will no longer * cause 21terror.

Psalm 10:9-18 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 10

This psalm in the Septuagint version, and those that follow it, is a part and continuation of the preceding psalm, and makes but one with it; hence in these versions the number of the following psalms differ from others, and what is the eleventh with others is the tenth with them, and so on to the hundred fourteenth and one hundred fifteenth, which also are put into one; but in order to make up the whole number of one hundred and fifty, the hundred sixteenth and the hundred forty seventh are both divided into two; and indeed the subject of this psalm is much the same with the former. Antichrist and antichristian times are very manifestly described; the impiety, blasphemy, and atheism of the man of sin; his pride, haughtiness, boasting of himself, and presumption of security; his persecution of the poor, and murder of innocents, are plainly pointed at; nor does the character of the man of the earth agree to well to any as to him: his times are times of trouble; but at the end of them the kingdom of Christ will appear in great glory, when the Gentiles, the antichristian nations, will perish out of his land, Ps 10:1-11,16,18.
