Psalm 10

Psalm 10  •  1 min. read  •  grade level: 10
Listen from:
This Psalm must be read in connection with the ninth. The cry of the Remnant is given more largely, and the iniquity of the enemy more fully detailed.
The answer to the cry, and then the establishment of the kingdom, is beautifully anticipated at the close.
Atheistic pride—man becoming his own god—man learning no lessons of God, either in grace or judgment, and the persecution of the righteous, strongly give character to this last form of evil. And then some marks are set upon the great enemy of the last days, in all parts of scripture, wherever he is glanced at or anticipated, prophetically or typically.
Note—In the Septuagint Psalm 9 and 10 are but one. Consequently from Psalm 10 to Psalm 147 the number of the Psalm in the Septuagint is one less than in the authorized English version. In Psalm 147 the number became the same again, because that Psalm becomes two in the Septuagint.
