10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself] in {a} times of trouble?
(a) As soon as we enter into affliction, we think God should help us, but that is not always his due time.

10:3 For the wicked {b} boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.
(b) The wicked man rejoices in his own lust he boasts when he has that he would; he brags of his wit and wealth and blesses himself and thus blasphemes the Lord.

10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I shall] {c} never [be] in adversity.
(c) The evil will not touch me, [Isaiah 28:15](../../../kjv/isaiah/28/15) or else he speaks thus because he never felt evil.

10:8 {d} He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
(d) He shows that the wicked have many ways to hide their cruelty and therefore should be even more feared.

10:10 He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the {e} poor may fall by his strong ones.
(e) By the hypocrisy of them who have authority the poor are devoured.

10:12 {f} Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
(f) He calls to God for help, because wickedness is so far overgrown that God must help now or never.

10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not {g} require [it].
(g) Therefore you must punish their blasphemy.

10:14 Thou hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to {h} requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
(h) To judge between the right and the wrong.

10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man]: seek out his wickedness [till] thou find {i} none.
(i) For you have utterly destroyed him.

10:16 The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the {k} heathen are perished out of his land.
(k) The hypocrites or such as live not after God’s law, will be destroyed.

10:18 {l} To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
(l) God helps when man’s help ceases.
