12 Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don't forget the helpless.
13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, And say in his heart, "God won't call me into account?"
14 But you do see trouble and grief; You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
16 Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.

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.
