Salmos 10:3-13

3 Porque del deseo de su corazón se jacta el impío, y el codicioso maldice y desprecia al SEÑOR.
4 El impío, en la altivez de su rostro, no busca a Dios. Todo su pensamiento es: No hay Dios.
5 Sus caminos prosperan en todo tiempo; tus juicios, oh Dios, están en lo alto, lejos de su vista; a todos sus adversarios los desprecia.
6 Dice en su corazón: No hay quien me mueva; por todas las generaciones no sufriré adversidad.
7 Llena está su boca de blasfemia, engaño y opresión; bajo su lengua hay malicia e iniquidad.
8 Se sienta al acecho en las aldeas, en los escondrijos mata al inocente; sus ojos espían al desvalido.
9 Acecha en el escondrijo como león en su guarida; acecha para atrapar al afligido, y atrapa al afligido arrastrándolo a su red.
10 Se agazapa, se encoge, y los desdichados caen en sus garras.
11 Dice en su corazón: Dios se ha olvidado; ha escondido su rostro; no lo verá jamás.
12 Levántate, oh SEÑOR; alza, oh Dios, tu mano. No te olvides de los pobres.
13 ¿Por qué ha despreciado el impío a Dios? Ha dicho en su corazón: Tú no lo requerirás.

Salmos 10:3-13 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.
