1.1 KiB
Psalm 10 General Notes
Type of psalm
Psalm 10 is a psalm of deliverance. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/deliverer)
Special concepts in this chapter
Evil people
The wicked people are prospering and think that God does not care. They think that he is not involved in these affairs. They destroy the innocent. The godly need God to come to their rescue and to punish the wicked people for the evil that they are doing to the good people. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/evil, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/innocent and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/godly and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/good)
Second half of Psalm 9
As noted in the intro to the last psalm, this one is part of an acrostic poem. This psalm covers the last half on the Hebrew alphabet. It also does not have a superscription to introduce it. However, the psalms do separate well on the subjects they address. One addresses thanksgiving and praise whereas Psalm 10 is a lament. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lament)
