Psalm 10:1-18
10:1-2 There are moments in everyone's life when their hope for God's intervention becomes desperate. It is not easy to be patient through times of strife; it is not easy to be understanding in times of discipline. It is extremely difficult to witness injustice and disparity. The psalmist raised these points but ultimately found reassurance in their confidence in God.
10:3-11 We like, this Psalm, call for God to insert His justice. And inevitably, He always does. It can seem like evil and corruption hold an unshakable power but only God is that steadfast. Only God has the unchallenged power.
10:8-11 As is done here in this piece of scripture, we must call to God. He answers His children. He defends and rescues those who commit themselves to Him.
10:12-14 Ultimately, we know that God is aware and present. We know that His favor and His power is on the side of the innocent and the just, the meek and the humble. He prepares us and strengthens us for the journey He has chosen for us; but we must commit ourselves to Him in order to put on that strength and preparation.
10:15 God is thorough in identifying evil and then eliminating it. On earth we have freedom; some people abuse their freedom by abusing others through injustice. God is aware and He is an active, triumphant effort against it.
10:16-18 Our God is King of Kings, the creator of the universe. He is the ultimate power and Father of the oppressed, the Father of everyone who needs Him and His glorious inheritance.
