Psalm 10-12

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Psalm 10-12

1Why, O LORD, do You stand far off?
Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2In pride the wicked pursue the needy;
let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
3For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him;
in all his schemes there is no God.
5He is secure in his ways at all times;
Your lofty judgments are far from him;
he sneers at all his foes.
6He says to himself, “I will not be moved;
from age to age I am free of distress.”
7His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence;
trouble and malice are under his tongue.
8He lies in wait near the villages;
in ambush he slays the innocent;
his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
9He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket;
he lurks to seize the oppressed;
he catches the lowly in his net.
10They are crushed and beaten down;
the hapless fall prey to his strength.
11He says to himself, “God has forgotten;
He hides His face and never sees.”
12Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God!
Do not forget the helpless.
13Why has the wicked man renounced God?
He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
14But You have regarded trouble and grief;
You see to repay it by Your hand.
The victim entrusts himself to You;
You are the helper of the fatherless.
15Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer;
call him to account for his wickedness
until none is left to be found.
16The LORD is King forever and ever;
the nations perish from His land.
17You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble;
You will strengthen their hearts.
You will incline Your ear,
18to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed,
that the men of the earth
may strike terror no more.
1In the LORD I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
“Flee like a bird to your mountain!
2For behold, the wicked bend their bows.
They set their arrow on the string
to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3If the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”
4The LORD is in His holy temple;
the LORD is on His heavenly throne.
His eyes are watching closely;
they examine the sons of men.
5The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked;
His soul hates the lover of violence.
6On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur;
a scorching wind will be their portion.
7For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice.
The upright will see His face.
1Help, O LORD, for the godly are no more;
the faithful have vanished from among men.
2They lie to one another;
they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.
3May the LORD cut off all flattering lips
and every boastful tongue.
4They say, “With our tongues we will prevail.
We own our lips — who can be our master?”
5“For the cause of the oppressed
and for the groaning of the needy,
I will now arise,” says the LORD.
“I will bring safety to him who yearns.”
6The words of the LORD are flawless,
like silver refined in a furnace,
like gold purified sevenfold.
7You, O LORD, will keep us;
You will forever guard us from this generation.
8The wicked wander freely,
and vileness is exalted among men.
