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

Psalms 10:1-18Why standest Thou afar off, O Lord?A theological difficulty, a haughty impiety, an earnest prayerI. A theological difficulty.“Why standest Thou afar off, O Lord?” Some great enormity was now under the eyes of David. We know not what. He had witnessed many such scenes. They have a tendency to suggest that God is indifferent. Even Christ felt this. “Why hast Thou forsaken Me?” Why does not God interfere? We cannot fully answer the question, but we may consider--1. That God respects... read more

Psalms 10:7-18His mouth is full of cursing.Black artsA missionary from Polynesia brought home a “soul trap.” It was a series of rings twisted in cocoanut fibre. If a native should commit a great offence, or offend a sorcerer, he proceeds to make a new ring in his chain, so as to form a trap to catch the poor man’s spirit. Soon the sorcerer asserts that the soul of the culprit, assuming this form, has passed into the trap. It is immediately known throughout the tribe that a certain man has lost... read more

Psalms 10:13Wherefore do the wicked contemn God? On the unprincipled contempt of religionHow astonishing that any should be guilty of this. Excellence and station and authority shield men from contempt. But yet the wicked contemn God. Notwithstanding He is unspeakably glorious and great, the blessed and only Potentate possessing vast dominions, sustaining His creatures and glorified in all His works. And all things depend upon Him. Some, allured by His grace, with cheerfulness adore Him;... read more

Psalms 10:16The heathen are perished out of His land.An encouragement to prayerDoes this sentence point back to the great instance of exterminating justice in the destruction of the Canaanite? It may do so, but it is rather to be taken as referring to the victories celebrated in the previous and companion Psalm. Note the recurrence of the words “nations” and “perished,” which are drawn from it. The connection between the two Psalms is thus witnessed, and the deliverance from foreign enemies,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 10:12

Psa 10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. Ver. 12. Arise, O Lord ] Surge, age, summe Pater, said Mantuan to the pope, stirring him up against the Turks; may we better say to the Almighty God, against his people’s enemies, O God, lift up thine hand Lift it up on high, that it may fall down the more heavily. In the first verse of this psalm the prophet complained that God stood afar off, and hid himself in time of trouble, Here he is entreated to arise, to come... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 10:13

Psa 10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it]. Ver. 13. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? ] q.d. It is time for thee, Lord, to arise and bestir thyself; for otherwise what will become of thy great name? The saints cannot endure that God should be slighted. He hath said in his heart ] Psalms 10:3-4 . This sticks in David’s stomach, and draws this prayer from him, who was now blessedly blown up with a holy zeal for God; as was also... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 10:14

Psa 10:14 Thou hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. Ver. 14. Thou hast seen it ] For thou art All-eye, whatever the wicked conceiteth to the contrary, making thee a God of clouts, as they say, or a heathen idol, which is nothing in the world. To requite it with thy hand ] Reponendo in manu tua, by taking it in thy hand, so some render it, sc. ut propius intuearis,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 10:15

Psa 10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man]: seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none. Ver. 15. Break thou the arm of the wicked ] That arm that hath been lifted up against the godly. See Psalms 3:8 ; Psalms 58:7 . Seek out his wickedness till thou find none ] Ad alios vel inficiendos, vel infestandos, Ezekiel 23:48 . Or, leave no sin of his unpunished.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 10:16

Psa 10:16 The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. Ver. 16. The Lord is King for ever and ever ] Therefore he will doubtless do whatsoever hath been before desired, and much more than we can ask or think. Many kings have been long lived, as was Artaxerxes Mnemon, who reigned 62 years; Augustus Caesar, 56; Queen Elizabeth, 44, &c.; but died at length, to the great grief of their subjects and servants, who are ready to wish (as once the Romans did... read more
