Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 10:15

"Break thou the arm of the wicked;And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.Jehovah is King forever and ever:The nations are perished out of his land."In the days when the sword was the principal weapon of violence, breaking the arm of the wicked would be equivalent to putting him completely out of business."The nations are perished out of his land." The event here mentioned is the displacement and extermination that God ordered for the ancient Canaanites in order to... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 10:15

Psalms 10:15. Break thou the arm of the wicked— i.e. "Deprive them of all power to do mischief." Mudge renders the next clause, Seek out his wickedness, &c.—Pursue his wickedness, so that thou find none left: properly, "Sit in judgment upon it, so that there be none left to be found: till there remains nothing to punish." Others say that the clause is, "Destroy him utterly, or so subdue him as to put it out of his power to do hurt;" which very well agrees with the former clause. Houbigant... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Psalms 10:15

15. arm—power. till thou find none—So far from not requiting (Psalms 10:11; Psalms 10:13), God will utterly destroy the wicked and his deeds (Psalms 9:5; Psalms 9:6; Psalms 34:16; Psalms 37:36). read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 10:1-18

Psalms 10This psalm is a prayer for immediate help in affliction. It contains a powerful description of the wicked who oppose God and attack His people. The focus of the previous psalm was on the judgment to come, but in this one it is on the present."The problem in Psalms 9 is the enemy invading from without, while the problem in Psalms 10 is the enemy corrupting and destroying from within."

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 10:12-15

David appealed to God to act for the righteous against the wicked (Psalms 10:12; Psalms 10:15; an inclusio). He could not understand why God allowed the wicked to continue to spurn Him. It was not because their actions had escaped the Lord’s notice. Beside this, the righteous were trusting in Him, and He had helped the helpless in the past. David wanted God to break the power (symbolized by the arm) of the wicked and to search out and destroy all their wickedness until it disappeared. Compare... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 10:16-18

These closing verses express the psalmist’s confidence that God had heard his petition. Because Yahweh is sovereign, the ultimate authority in the universe, the nations that refused to submit to Him would perish. God’s land was Canaan, but in a larger sense the whole world is His land since He is King of all creation. In view of who God is, David was confident that, even though God did not judge the wicked immediately, He would do so eventually.Some scholars believed that the "nations" here... read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 10:1-18

This Ps. has no title. Its relationship to Psalms 9 has been discussed in intro. to that Ps. It reflects a time of great social disorder, in which wickedness and violence are rampant, and the righteous are sorely oppressed. It falls roughly into two parts. The wrongs which call for redress are described (Psalms 10:1-11) and God’s interposition is invoked (Psalms 10:12-18).1. God seems to be ignorant of what is taking place, or indifferent to it. The Psalmist, however, does not really believe... read more
