This indicates God's active awareness and attention to the suffering and distress of His people. In a world where injustice often seems to prevail, this phrase reassures believers that God is not indifferent to their pain. Historically, this reflects the consistent Biblical theme that God is a righteous judge who sees the afflictions of His people, as seen in the Exodus narrative where God hears the cries of the Israelites in Egypt.You consider it to take it in hand The phrase "consider it" comes from the Hebrew "nabat," meaning to look intently or regard with care. This suggests not just a passive observation but an active engagement. "To take it in hand" implies God's readiness to intervene and act on behalf of those who suffer. This reflects the Biblical understanding of God as a divine warrior and protector, who not only sees injustice but is committed to rectifying it. The historical context of Israel, often surrounded by enemies, underscores the importance of divine intervention.The victim entrusts himself to You The term "victim" here is translated from "chelak," which can mean the oppressed or those who are wronged. The act of entrusting oneself to God is an act of faith and surrender, acknowledging God's sovereignty and justice. This reflects the Biblical principle of casting one's burdens upon the Lord, as seen in <a href="/1_peter/5-7.htm">1 Peter 5:7</a>. The historical context of the psalm, likely written during a time of national distress, emphasizes the importance of reliance on God rather than human strength.You are the helper of the fatherless The word "helper" is derived from the Hebrew "azar," meaning to support or aid. This highlights God's role as a defender and provider for those who are vulnerable and without earthly protection, such as orphans. The "fatherless" are often mentioned in the Bible as a group deserving special care and justice, reflecting God's heart for the marginalized. This aligns with the broader scriptural mandate for believers to care for widows and orphans, as seen in <a href="/james/1-27.htm">James 1:27</a>. Historically, this would resonate deeply in a patriarchal society where the father was the primary provider and protector.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(14) The poor committeth himself.--Better, the helpless leaveth it to Thee.

The most emphatic contradiction that was possible to the wicked man's "He will never see it" (ver. 11). God sees, notes, bears in mind, and never forgets, every act of wrong-doing that men commit, and especially acts of oppression. For thou beholdest mischief and spite; or, perhaps, mischief and grief (see <a href="/job/6-2.htm">Job 6:2</a>); i.e. the "mischief" of the oppressors, and the "grief' of the oppressed. (so Hengstenberg, Cheyne, and the' Speaker's Commentary'). Others refer both words to the feelings of the oppressed, and translate, "travail and grief." To requite it with thy hand. Again the Prayer-book Version is preferable, "to take the matter into thy hand," both for reward and requital. The poor committeth himself unto thee. He has no other possible refuge - therefore no other reliance. Thou art the Helper of the fatherless. The word "thou" is emphatic - "Thou, and no other (אַתָּה)." <a href="/commentaries/psalms/10-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>But כִּֽי־ (kî-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction You אַתָּ֤ה ׀ (’at·tāh) Pronoun - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_859.htm">Strong's 859: </a> Thou and thee, ye and you have regarded רָאִ֡תָה (rā·’i·ṯāh) Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7200.htm">Strong's 7200: </a> To see trouble עָ֘מָ֤ל (‘ā·māl) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5999.htm">Strong's 5999: </a> Toil, wearing effort, worry, wheth, of body, mind and grief; וָכַ֨עַס ׀ (wā·ḵa·‘as) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3708.htm">Strong's 3708: </a> Vexation, anger You consider it תַּבִּיט֮ (tab·bîṭ) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5027.htm">Strong's 5027: </a> To scan, look intently at, to regard to take לָתֵ֪ת (lā·ṯêṯ) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set in hand. בְּיָ֫דֶ֥ךָ (bə·yā·ḏe·ḵā) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3027.htm">Strong's 3027: </a> A hand The victim חֵלֶ֑כָה (ḥê·le·ḵāh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2489.htm">Strong's 2489: </a> A wretch, unfortunate entrusts himself יַעֲזֹ֣ב (ya·‘ă·zōḇ) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5800.htm">Strong's 5800: </a> To loosen, relinquish, permit to You; עָ֭לֶיךָ (‘ā·le·ḵā) Preposition | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against You אַתָּ֤ה ׀ (’at·tāh) Pronoun - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_859.htm">Strong's 859: </a> Thou and thee, ye and you are הָיִ֬יתָ (hā·yî·ṯā) Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be the helper עוֹזֵֽר׃ (‘ō·w·zêr) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5826.htm">Strong's 5826: </a> To surround, protect, aid of the fatherless. יָ֝ת֗וֹם (yā·ṯō·wm) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3490.htm">Strong's 3490: </a> A bereaved person <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/10-14.htm">Psalm 10:14 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/psalms/10-14.htm">Psalm 10:14 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/psalms/10-14.htm">Psalm 10:14 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/psalms/10-14.htm">Psalm 10:14 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/psalms/10-14.htm">Psalm 10:14 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/10-14.htm">Psalm 10:14 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/10-14.htm">Psalm 10:14 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/10-14.htm">Psalm 10:14 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/10-14.htm">Psalm 10:14 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/psalms/10-14.htm">Psalm 10:14 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/psalms/10-14.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 10:14 But you do see trouble and grief (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/10-13.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 10:13"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 10:13" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/10-15.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 10:15"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 10:15" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
