Psalms 10:14 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Thou hast seen it Or, But thou hast seen it, and therefore they are horribly mistaken, as they will find to their cost; for thou beholdest And not as an idle spectator, but with an eye of observation and vindication; mischief and spite All the malicious, spiteful, and injurious conduct of wicked men toward those who are more righteous than they; to requite it with thy hand Hebrew, to give (to restore, to repay to them the mischief they have done to others) by the hand of thy extraordinary providence, because the oppressed were destitute of all other succours. The poor committeth himself unto thee Hebrew, יעזב עליךְ, jagnazob gnalecka, leaveth to thee the care of his person and righteous cause. Thou art the helper of the fatherless Of such poor and oppressed ones as have no friend nor helper; one kind of them being put for all. “We may collect from hence,” says Dodd, “that there were two kinds of infidels at the time this Psalm was written; one of whom made God a sort of epicurean deity, and supposed him not to concern himself with the moral government of the world; the other altogether denied his being,” Psalms 10:4.
