詩篇 10:8-10 RCUVTS

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 10:1-11

1. Description of the wicked 10:1-11The emphasis in this part of the psalm is the problem of theodicy, the justice of God in the face of the prosperity of wicked Israelites. Like the Book of Job, the psalm does not resolve the problem but refocuses on God (Psalms 10:14). read more

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."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 10:8-11

Using the figures of a predatory animal, like a lion, and a hunter, like a fisherman, David described how the wicked cunningly pursue and ensnare the righteous in their traps. The fact that God does not punish them more quickly encourages them to continue their destructive work. 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 10:8

(8) In lurking places . . .—i.e., in ambush.Villages.—Properly, enclosed spaces, but then, like our “town” (ton, an enclosure), for any collection of dwellings; and in Leviticus 25:31, “an unwalled place”; applied also to a nomadic encampment (Genesis 25:16).Privily set.—Literally, hid: i.e., watched secretly.The poor.—The Hebrew word, occurring three times in this psalm (Psalms 10:10; Psalms 10:14), is peculiar to it. The root idea is darkness; hence here, by an easy transition, obscure,... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 10:9

(9) Lieth in wait.—A confusion of metaphor. The wicked is first, the lion watching for his prey, and then the hunter snaring animals. “Poor,” here—better, afflicted (see Psalms 9:12). Translate, in his hiding-place he lurks, as a lion in his lair, lurks to seize a sufferer, seizes a sufferer, drawing him into his net. read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 10:10

(10) By his strong ones.—Possibly, by his strong claws, recurring to the metaphor of the lion. Some (Jerome, Perowne, and apparently Syriac), instead of “croucheth,” render “is crushed,” making the sufferer its subject. There is a various reading to the text, but in either case the image of the beast gathering himself together for a spring is admissible. Or, keeping the primary sense of darkness, render, he crouches and skulks, and lies darkly down in his strong places. This avoids the anomaly... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 10:1-18

Atheism Psalms 10:4 ; Psalms 14:1 The Psalmist's view of the men whom he calls the 'Ungodly' is explained in those two verses. I. He does not bring against the ungodly any charge of theoretical Atheism. He is dealing with practical as distinct from theoretical Atheism, and therefore it is that his words have an interest for ourselves. The practical Atheist is he who says not in his speech, not in look or pamphlet, but in his heart, 'There is no God,' one of whom may be said in other words of... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 10:1-18

Psalms 10:1-18Psalms 9:1-20; Psalms 10:1-18 are alike in their imperfectly acrostic structure, the occurrence of certain phrases-e.g., the very uncommon expression for "times of trouble," {Psalms 9:9; Psalms 10:1} "Arise, O Lord" {Psalms 9:19; Psalms 10:12} -and the references to the nation’s judgment. But the differences are so great that the hypothesis of their original unity is hard to accept. As already remarked, the enemies are different. The tone of the one psalm is jubilant thanksgiving... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 10:1-18

Psalms 10:0 1. The cry of Jehovah and what causeth it (Psalms 10:1-2 ) 2. That wicked one (Psalms 10:3-11 ) 3. Prayer for divine Intervention: Faith’s Vision (Psalms 10:12-18 ) Psalms 10:1-2 . Here is a renewed cry to Jehovah and why? Because the wicked in his pride persecutes the poor. The wicked is that coming man of sin. Psalms 10:3-11 . That persecutor of the saints of God is now prophetically revealed in his arrogant pride, defiance of God and oppression of the poor and needy. Such... read more
