Introduction
(g) He was insidious, artful, and underhanded in his doings; a man who would stoop to any act of duplicity and treachery to accomplish his purposes, Psalms 10:8-10.
(h) And he acted as if God had “forgotten,” that is, as if God would pass over offences; as though He did not see or regard them, Psalms 10:11.
II. An appeal to God to deliver him from the machinations of this foe, Psalms 10:12-18. This appeal consists of the following parts:
(a) A solemn address to God, beseeching him to remember the cry of the humble or the afflicted, Psalms 10:12.
(b) Arguments to enforce this appeal, or reasons why God should interpose, Psalms 10:13-15. These arguments are:
(1) That he had seen all this; that the effort of the wrong-doer to conceal what he had done was vain; and
(2) that the poor and afflicted had committed himself to God with a firm confidence that he would protect those who relied on him.
(c) The expression of a solemn and full conviction on the part of the writer of the psalm that God would thus interfere, and save those who put their trust in Him, Psalms 10:16-18.
