Salmos 10:8-10 NVIPT

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 10:1-18

Why? or, Hard facts and puzzling questions. Whether or no this psalm was originally a part of the ninth is a question which, as may be seen, is discussed by many expositors. The mere absence of a title to it is, however, a very slight indication in that direction; while the contrast, almost violent, between the two psalms seems to be sufficient to show that they could scarcely have been penned by the same writer at the same time. The ninth psalm is a song of praise over the great... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 10:1-18

Times of darkness and fear. The experiences of the psalmist may differ from ours, but by faith and sympathy we can enter into his feelings. Besides, there is always more or less of trouble. Life is full of vicissitudes. Times of darkness and of fear come to all. Not from one, but from many, the cry goes up to Heaven, "Why standest thou afar off?" I. THE COMPLAINT . ( Psalms 10:1-11 .) Why? Perplexity and fear are natural because of the silence of God. What makes his silence the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 10:1-18

The righteous God. The one grand thought which runs through this psalm and most of the Old Testament literature is that God, notwithstanding all appearances to the contrary, is a Righteous Being, and that all wickedness must be punished and overthrown. In this psalm two principal thoughts are vividly pictured forth, and a prayer. I. A COMPLAINT TO GOD OF THE DARING ATHEISM OF THE WICKED . ( Psalms 10:1-11 .) 1 . He imagines himself to be above all restraint ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 10:8

He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages . These "lurking-places" must not be supposed to have been inside the villages, but outside of them They were retired spots at no great distance, where brigands or others might lie in ambush, ready to seize on such of the villagers as might show themselves. In the secret places doth he murder the innocent (comp. Job 24:14 ). The usual object would be, not murder, but robbery. Still, there would be cases where it would be convenient to remove... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 10:9

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den ; or, he lurks in the covert as a lion in his lair (Kay)—a very striking image! He lieth in wait (or, lurks ) to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net; rather, by drawing him into his net. The mode of capture is intended. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 10:10

He croucheth, and humbleth himself ; rather, crushed, he sinks down. The subject is changed, and the poor man's condition spoken of. That the poor may fall by his strong ones; rather, and the helpless (comp. Psalms 10:8 )fall by his strong ones. The "strong ones" are the ruffians whom the wicked man employs to effect his purposes. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 10:8

He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages - As robbers do, who hide themselves in the vicinity of villages, that they make a sudden descent upon them in the silence of the night, or that they may seize and rob the inhabitants as they go forth in the morning to attend their flocks to the pastures, or to labor in the fields. The word rendered “villages” means properly an enclosure, as a court before a building; and then a village or hamlet, farm-buildings, or farm hamlets, usually erected... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 10:9

He lieth in wait secretly - Margin, in the secret places. See the note at Psalms 10:8. The object here is merely to illustrate the thought in the previous verse, by an allusion to a lion and a hunter.As a lion in his den - As a lion crouches down in his den, ready to spring upon his prey. That is, the lion is concealed, but is on the look out, and when his prey passes near his den, he suddenly springs upon it and secures it. So it is with the wicked man. He carefully lays his plans. He conceals... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 10:10

He croucheth - Margin, “breaketh himself.” Coverdale, “Then smiteth he, then oppresseth he.” Prof. Alexander, “And bruised he will sink.” Horsley, “And the overpowered man submits.” Luther, “He slays, and thrusts down, and presses to the earth the poor with power.” This variety of interpretation arises from some ambiguity in regard to the meaning of the original. The word rendered “croucheth” - ודכה, in the Kethib (the text) - is in the Qeri’ (margin), ידכה, “and crushed, he sinks down.” There... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 10:8-9

Psalms 10:8-9. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages Not within the villages, but in the ways bordering upon them, or leading to them, as robbers used to do. In the secret places That he may avoid the shame and punishment of men; which is the only thing that he fears. His eyes are privily set Hebrew, יצפנו , jitzponu, delitescunt, lie hid; skulk, or lurk. He watches, and looks out of his lurking place, to spy what passengers come that way. The allusion is still to the... read more
