Commentary on Psalms 10:14

Theological / Devotional

Thou hast seen. The arrogant belief of the wicked man, who denies God’s observation of man’s evil ways, is stoutly denied by the psalmist. Therefore, the poor man may safely leave his cause to God, in full assurance that justice will be done.

Fatherless. Symbolic of those who fall an easy prey to the rapacious, and therefore need God’s help. The word appears in this symbolic use especially in Deuteronomy, Job, and Psalms.
