The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

Chapter Study & Analysis
Overview
Psalm 10 is a lament over the apparent success of the wicked who say "God hath forgotten." It concludes with a powerful appeal to God to "lift up thine hand" and help the fatherless and oppressed.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. The Pride of the Wicked: The wicked man thinks he shall never be moved (v. 6). Pride blinds people to their accountability before the Creator.2. God Sees the Mischief: Though He seems far off, God beholds mischief and spite to requite it with His hand (v. 14). Nothing escapes His notice.
3. Helper of the Fatherless: God is the special protector of the vulnerable. His justice is the ultimate hope for those who have no earthly helper.
Practical Lessons
FORMAL PRAYER
Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Thine hand. Forget not the humble, but break the arm of the wicked and be the helper of the fatherless and the oppressed. Amen.
