Commentary on Psalms 10:18
Theological / DevotionalFatherless. See on v. 14.
Man. Heb. ’enosh (see on Ps. 8:4; 9:19).
Of the earth. There is a play on words, in the Hebrew the words for “oppress” and “earth” having two of their three consonants alike. Why should a creature of the earth trample on the rights of his fellows or assert superiority over his equals?
The psalm closes on a note of absolute confidence in God’s vindication of the oppressed. Faith counts the thing as done.
