Psalm 10
Concise Complete
The psalmist complains of the wickedness of the wicked. (1-11) He prays to
God to appear for the relief of his people. (12-18)
Verses 1-11 God's
withdrawings are very grievous to his people, especially in times of trouble. We
stand afar off from God by our unbelief, and then complain that God stands afar
off from us. Passionate words against bad men do more hurt than good; if we
speak of their badness, let it be to the Lord in prayer; he can make them
better. The sinner proudly glories in his power and success. Wicked people will
not seek after God, that is, will not call upon him. They live without prayer,
and that is living without God. They have many thoughts, many objects and
devices, but think not of the Lord in any of them; they have no submission to
his will, nor aim for his glory. The cause of this is pride. Men think it below
them to be religious. They could not break all the laws of justice and goodness
toward man, if they had not first shaken off all sense of religion.
Verses 12-18 The
psalmist speaks with astonishment, at the wickedness of the wicked, and at the
patience and forbearance of God. God prepares the heart for prayer, by kindling
holy desires, and strengthening our most holy faith, fixing the thoughts, and
raising the affections, and then he graciously accepts the prayer. The
preparation of the heart is from the Lord, and we must seek unto him for it. Let
the poor, afflicted, persecuted, or tempted believer recollect, that Satan is
the prince of this world, and that he is the father of all the ungodly. The
children of God cannot expect kindness, truth, or justice from such persons as
crucified the Lord of glory. But this once suffering Jesus, now reigns as King
over all the earth, and of his dominion there shall be no end. Let us commit
ourselves unto him, humbly trusting in his mercy. He will rescue the believer
from every temptation, and break the arm of every wicked oppressor, and bruise
Satan under our feet shortly. But in heaven alone will all sin and temptation be
shut out, though in this life the believer has a foretaste of deliverance.
