16 The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations are gone from his land.
The Lord had his seat as king when the waters came on the earth; the Lord is seated as king for ever.
Now to the King eternal, ever-living, unseen, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. So be it.
And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifting up my eyes to heaven, got back my reason, and, blessing the Most High, I gave praise and honour to him who is living for ever, whose rule is an eternal rule and whose kingdom goes on from generation to generation.
You, O Lord, are seated as King for ever; the seat of your power is eternal.
Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your rule is through all generations.
Like the nations which the Lord is cutting off before you, so you will be cut off; because you would not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.
Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler, King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.
You have said sharp words to the nations, you have sent destruction on the sinners, you have put an end to their name for ever and ever.
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our law-giver, the Lord is our king; he will be our saviour.
The Lord is King; he is clothed with glory; the Lord is clothed with strength; power is the cord of his robe; the world is fixed, so that it may not be moved.
Driving out nations before them, marking out the line of their heritage, and giving the people of Israel their tents for a resting-place.
Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people. For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them.
You have made me free from the fightings of the people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants. From the time when my name comes to their ears they will be ruled by me: men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority. They will be wasting away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.

Commentary on Psalms 10 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 10
The Septuagint translation joins this psalm with the ninth, and makes them but one; but the Hebrew makes it a distinct psalm, and the scope and style are certainly different. In this psalm,
Psa 10:1-11
David, in these verses, discovers,
In singing this psalm and praying it over, we should have our hearts much affected with a holy indignation at the wickedness of the oppressors, a tender compassion of the miseries of the oppressed, and a pious zeal for the glory and honour of God, with a firm belief that he will, in due time, give redress to the injured and reckon with the injurious.
Psa 10:12-18
David here, upon the foregoing representation of the inhumanity and impiety of the oppressors, grounds an address to God, wherein observe,
In singing these verses we must commit religion's just but injured cause to God, as those that are heartily concerned for its honour and interests, believing that he will, in due time, plead it with jealousy.
