Psalm 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.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 10Meaning
Within this movement of Psalm 10, God is confessed as seeing trouble and grief and as the helper to whom the vulnerable can entrust their cause.
Prayer for God to arise and act
The lament turns into petition for remembered suffering, accountability, and the disabling of oppression.
Read carefully
God is confessed as seeing trouble and grief and as the helper to whom the vulnerable can entrust their cause; the verse remains inside Psalm 10:12–15.
Reflection
Let this verse shape truthful prayer, protection of the vulnerable, and patient trust rather than retaliation.
