诗篇 10:3 CUVS

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 10:1-11

Prayer against the Enemy of the Church. Luther writes in his summary of this psalm: "This is a psalm of prayer which complains about the arch-enemy of the kingdom of Christ, that is, Antichrist, who for the sake of his covetousness and pomp troubles Christendom with both might and guile; he wields both the sword of worldly tyranny over the body and the net of false doctrine over the souls.

Psalms 10:01 Why standest thou afar off, O Lord?Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor:Let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire,And blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God:God is not in all his thoughts.5 His ways are always grievous;Thy judgments are far above... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 10:1-18

God Will not Forget the Lowly Psalms 10:1-18 The malice of our foes, and especially of Satan, is powerfully described, Psalms 10:1-11 . Now it is the venom beneath the serpent’s tongue, Psalms 10:7 ; now the bandit in ambush, Psalms 10:8 ; now the lion in his den, and again the hunter snaring his unsuspecting prey, Psalms 10:9 . And all the while God is so quiet that it seems as if He has abdicated His throne. Then the oppressed begin to pray, committing themselves to Him, Psalms 10:12-15 .... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 10:1-18

In the Septuagint and other versions, probably the ancient Hebrew, Psalms 9:1-20; Psa 10:1-18 appear as one. There is a clear connection between them, but it is that of contrast. In the former the singer has rejoiced in the exercise of Jehovah's rule in the whole earth. In this he mourns what seems to be the abandonment of His own people. There is, first, the protesting cry of the heart against what seems to be divine indifference to the injustice being wrought by the wicked against the poor... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 10:3-6

‘For the unrighteous man boasts of his heart's desire, And the man who is greedy for gain renounces, yes, passes judgment on YHWH. The wicked, in the pride of his demeanour, says, He will not require it. All his thoughts are, There is no God. His ways are fixed at all times; Your judgments are far above out of his sight. As for all his adversaries, he puffs at them. He says in his heart, I will not be moved; To all generations I will not be in adversity. With deep insight the psalmist... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 10:1-18

9 and 10. Yahweh the Refuge of His People.— These two Pss., divided in MT, were originally one, This is proved by the fact that they are one in LXX. and Vulg., by the absence of title over Psalms 10, and, conclusively, by the evidence that 9 and 10 form one acrostic poem. It was arranged in strophes of four lines each, the first letter of each strophe being one of the letters of the Heb. alphabet in regular succession. This system is carried out in the whole of Psalms 9-2 in Psalms 10. So far... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 10:3

Boasteth, or glorieth, or praiseth, or pleaseth himself. Of his heart’s desire; or, in, or concerning, or because of the desire, or concupiscence, or lust of his heart, or soul; which word is added to note the vehemency and fervency of it. He glorieth in his very lusts, which are his shame, Philippians 3:19, and especially in the satisfaction of his desires, how wickedly soever he gets it. Desire is oft put for the thing desired, as Psalms 21:2; Psalms 78:29,Psalms 78:30. And blesseth the... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 10:1-18

INTRODUCTION“This psalm seems to belong to the time of the Captivity, or the return of the captives. It was probably made in reference to Sanballat, and the other enemies of the Jews. There is a great similarity between this and the 12th, the 14th, the 35th, and the 53d. In these, as Calmet remarks, we find the same complaints, the same sentiments, and almost the same expressions.”—Dr. A. Clarke.SOUL PERPLEXITY(Psalms 10:1-2.)I.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 10:1-18

Psalms 10:1-18 Why do you stand a far off, O LORD? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? ( Psalms 10:1 )Have you ever prayed that? "Lord, why aren't You doing something about it? Why do You seem to hide Yourself when I am in trouble?"The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasts his heart's desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 10:1-18

Psalms 10:1 . Why standest thou afar off, oh Lord? This is the prayer of David against some very wicked and neighbouring prince, who through pride and thirst for gold, was lurking like a lion, and murdering the poor. In religion he was an atheist: he said in his heart, I shall not be moved. God hath forgotten, he hideth his face; he will never call me to account for the effusion of blood. Therefore, through the pride of his countenance, he will not seek after God. In war, he was a coward,... read more
