Psalms 10:14

“From men [which are] thy hand, O Lord, etc.] Some understand these words, with what follows, as independent of the former, and of another set of men, even of good men; so the Targum, “and the righteous who deliver their souls for thy sake, O Lord, unto death in the earth, their portion is in eternal life;” so Jarchi gives the like sense of them: but the words are to be connected with the preceding, as they are by Aben Ezra, Kimchi, and Ben Melech; and the sense is, deliver my soul from men, which are instruments in thine hand to chastise thy people: so even Satan himself, and the Sabeans and Chaldeans, whom he instigated to afflict Job, are called the “hand” of the Lord that touched him,…”

“mischief and spite--provocation and trouble of the sufferer (compare Psa 6:7; Psa 7:14). committeth--or, "leaves (his burden) on Thee."”

“Thou hast seen it - Thou seest all. Though people act as if their conduct was not observed, yet thou art intimately acquainted with all that they do. The workers of iniquity cannot hide themselves. The idea here is, that although God seemed not to notice the conduct of the wicked, and though the wicked acted as if he did not, yet that all this was seen by God, and that he would deal with men according to justice and to truth. For thou beholdest mischief - All that is done on the earth, though perhaps in this case referring particularly to that which gave the psalmist trouble. And spite - The word spite with us, though it originally denoted rancour, malice, ill-will, now denotes usually a…”

“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. Psalms 10:15”

“10:14 Because the Lord cares for the afflicted, he will take note and punish evildoers (see 72:14; 116:15).”

“Thou hast: Psa 35:22; Pro 15:3; Jer 16:17, Jer 23:24; Heb 4:13 for thou: Hab 1:13 to requite: Jdg 1:7; Kg2 9:26; Ch2 6:23; Jer 51:56; Joe 3:4 the poor: Psa 55:22; Ti2 1:12; Pe1 4:19, Pe1 5:7 committeth: Heb. leaveth, Isa 10:3; Jer 49:11 helper: Psa 68:5, Psa 146:9; Deu 10:18; Hos 14:3 Psalms 10:15”

“Now comes the confirmation of his cry to God: It is with Him entirely different from what the ungodly imagine. They think that He will not punish; but He does see (cf. Ch2 24:22), and the psalmist knows and confesses it: ראתה (defective = ראיתה Psa 35:22), Thou hast seen and dost see what is done to Thine own, what is done to the innocent. This he supports by a conclusion a genere ad speciem thus: the trouble which is prepared for others, and the sorrow (כּעס, as in Ecc 7:3) which they cause them, does not escape the all-seeing eye of God, He notes it all, to give it into (lay it in) His hand. "To give anything into any one's hand" is equivalent to, into his power ( Kg1 20:28, and…”
