Psalm 10: The Song of the Afflicted (Part 2)

The Woven Psalms

“Why, O LORD, do you stand far away?” (Psalm 10:1)
The Psalms offer us an analysis of evil. When the psalmists cry out to God for justice and refuge from suffering, they often describe those who are causing them this misery. Therefore, the Psalms serve as a warning for us. If we see ourselves in these descriptions of wickedness, it will hopefully lead us to repent and cry out to God ourselves for mercy.
