Commentary on Psalms 10:2

Theological / Devotional

Pride. Verses 2–11 present in formidable array a catalogue of the enemies’ characteristics.

Persecute. Heb. dalaq, translated “hotly pursued” in Gen. 31:36 and “pursued” in Lam. 4:19. The second clause of the verse is a plea that justice may be done (see on Ps. 7:15, 16). The extended plea for God’s intervention begins in v. 12.
