PSALM 10
A Song of Confidence in God’s Triumph Over Evil
1 Why do You stand
afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2 The wicked in his
pride persecutes the poor;
Let them be caught in the
plots which they have devised.
3 For the wicked boasts
of his heart’s desire;
He blesses the greedy and
renounces the Lord.
4 The
wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
God
is in none of his thoughts.
5 His ways are
always prospering;
Your judgments are far
above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies,
he sneers at them.
6 He has said in
his heart, “I shall not be moved;
I shall never be in
adversity.”
7
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression;
Under
his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
8 He sits in the
lurking places of the villages;
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on
the helpless.
9 He lies in wait
secretly, as a lion in his den;
He
lies in wait to catch the poor;
He
catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
10 So he crouches,
he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by
his strength.
11 He has said in
his heart,
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”
12 Arise, O Lord!
O God, lift up Your hand!
Do not forget the humble.
13 Why do the wicked
renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an
account.”
14 But You have seen,
for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your
hand.
The helpless commits himself
to You;
You are the helper of the
fatherless.
15 Break the arm of
the wicked and the evil man;
Seek out his wickedness until
You find none.
16 The Lord is
King forever and ever;
The nations have perished out
of His land.
17 Lord, You have
heard the desire of the humble;
You will prepare their heart;
You will cause Your ear to
hear,
18 To do justice
to the fatherless and the oppressed,
That the man of the earth may
oppress no more.
Who does this Psalm bring to mind?
He “cares” about your healthcare by turning it to socialized
medicine.
The truth is far from him.
His failures all belong to others about him.
He supports the killing of the preborn and elderly.
He bribes the poor with a free cell phone to support him in the
upcoming election.
Most sadly, God is in none of his thoughts.
Please pray for our president that the Gospel of Jesus will
be opened to his heart and he will hear it.
The President like many others who proclaim they are Christians ~ don't act, think, or make decisions like the Christians they claim to be. All would greatly benefit from reading the Bible and letting the truth of Gods word guide and shape their lives. Great insight and thoughts! Donna
