Psalm 10 - God's Faithfulness

Psalm 10 is another cry for help in the face of the enemy. The psalm describes the wicked as violent, oppressive, and reviling against the authority of God, believing God will not see his/her crimes against the helpless.

But the faithful know better. When justice and righteousness seem far from you, trust in the faithfulness of God and his ultimate justice. No one is getting away with anything. All will be exposed and accounted for. So look up! Your King rules with love and righteousness. He knows your pain and, in time, will bless you with something you do not yet possess, some spiritual grace.


Psalm 10:14, 17-18 NIV

But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; 

you consider their grief and take it in hand. 

The victims commit themselves to you; 

you are the helper of the fatherless. 

You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted; 

you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, 

defending the fatherless and the oppressed, 

so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.
