God hears the desire of the afflicted,defending the fatherless and the oppressed

Psalm 10:1-18
Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weakwho are caught in the schemes he devises.
Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless. Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, “He won’t call me to account”?
But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land. You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflictedyou encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.
Times are bad. Evil people defy God and disregard his laws and get away with it. The poor are their helpless victims.
The psalmist calls on God to act, confident that he will break oppression and defend those who have no one but God to turn to.
Why?
God does not hide, but God hears the desire of the afflicted.
God has his time and plan, so we have to wait, and the difficult time alway hard to pass.
The Lord is King forever and ever, He breaks oppression and defends those who have no one but God to turn to.
God is the Lord forever!
1-3 禱告
4-11 惡人的感覺
12-18 後來詩人的反向、信心的禱告
一開始時在忠難中的請求,是一種錯覺,而有這呼求!
惡人也以為神不會追究,不觀看、神隱藏!
人往往只看眼前!無論好人、壞人在順利中,很容易以為神不在乎,很遠。
以前的經驗,認識神,神一定追究,一定觀看。
神以前聽見,以後依然會聽見!信心的軟弱中,讓人有錯覺發生,而只看眼前!無論惡人如何順利,神必觀看也聽見!讓我們寬廣我們的心與眼界!以耶穌基督的心為心!
How?
Pray to the Lord and give thanks to the Lord.
