Wesley's Notes

10:14 Requite - Heb. to give (to restore or pay the mischief which they have done to others) with thy hand, by thy own extraordinary providence, because the oppressed were destitute of all other succours. Fatherless - Of such as have no friend or helper, one kind of them being put for all.

King James Translators' Notes

committeth: Heb. leaveth

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

14. mischief and spite-provocation and trouble of the sufferer (compare Ps 6:7; 7:14).

committeth-or, "leaves (his burden) on Thee."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

10:12-18 The psalmist speaks with astonishment, at the wickedness of the wicked, and at the patience and forbearance of God. God prepares the heart for prayer, by kindling holy desires, and strengthening our most holy faith, fixing the thoughts, and raising the affections, and then he graciously accepts the prayer. The preparation of the heart is from the Lord, and we must seek unto him for it. Let the poor, afflicted, persecuted, or tempted believer recollect, that Satan is the prince of this world, and that he is the father of all the ungodly. The children of God cannot expect kindness, truth, or justice from such persons as crucified the Lord of glory. But this once suffering Jesus, now reigns as King over all the earth, and of his dominion there shall be no end. Let us commit ourselves unto him, humbly trusting in his mercy. He will rescue the believer from every temptation, and break the arm of every wicked oppressor, and bruise Satan under our feet shortly. But in heaven alone will all sin and temptation be shut out, though in this life the believer has a foretaste of deliverance.


Psalm 10:7 His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
Psalm 22:11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near; For there is none to help.
Psalm 68:5 A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy habitation. (NASB ©1995)
