Psalms 10 · Grade 4

God Has Not Forgotten

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 10 has no title, so it does not name a writer. It opens with an honest question: Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? The psalmist is troubled because the wicked seem to win.

He describes the wicked man. He boasts of his heart's cravings, and in his pride he has no room in his thoughts for God. He says in his heart that he shall not be shaken. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit, and he lies in wait to catch the helpless. He tells himself that God has forgotten and will never see.

The psalmist calls on God: Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don't forget the helpless. Then he declares the truth: But you do see trouble and grief. God helps the victim and the fatherless. Yahweh is King forever and ever. He has heard the desire of the humble, and he will judge the fatherless and the oppressed.
