Psalm 10

Commentary

Psalm 10 is a sobering reminder of the reality of evil and injustice in the world. The psalmist observes the wicked exploiting and harming the innocent, and is deeply troubled by God's apparent silence. It is a question that continues to be asked in the midst of suffering and hardship: where is God in all of this?Yet even as the psalmist wrestles with this question, they do not lose their faith in God's justice and compassion. They plead with God to act on behalf of the oppressed, confident that He hears their cries and will not abandon them. Psalm 10 serves as a source of comfort and hope for those who face difficult circumstances, reminding them that they are not alone and that God is always present, even in the midst of suffering.
