Meditations in the Psalms
January 18th
Psalm 10:7-12
These verses describe in detail the actions and attitudes of an unbelieving heart. That person believes that God won’t do anything about the wickedness, as verse 11 says “He will never see it.” But, Hebrews 4:13 reminds us that “all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.” David’s prayer is “Arise, O LORD!” God will not forget the righteous and the “humble” in heart before Him!
- The mouth of the wicked – verse 7
- The murder of the innocent – verse 8
- The methods he uses against the poor – verses 9-10
- The manner in which he reasons – verse 11
- The message of David to the Lord – verse 12
Our faith is resting in the Lord Who will never forget “the humble.”
