Context of Psalms 10:16
14Thou hast seen [it], for thou thyself beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite by thy hand. The wretched committeth himself unto thee; thou hast been the helper of the fatherless. 15Break thou the arm of the wicked, and as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none. Jehovah is King for ever and ever: the nations have perished out of his land. 17Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek, thou hast established their heart: thou causest thine ear to hear, 18To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed one, that the man of the earth may terrify no more.

Commentaries on Psalms 10:16
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 16The Lord is king for ever - He has, and ever will have, the supreme power. The heathen are perished out of his land - They are all either cut off or converted. This may refer to the Canaanites. What a mercy that we can say this of our own country! Once it was entirely heathen; now not one heathen family in the whole land.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 16The Lord is King forever and ever - That is, he reigns, and he will reign forever. This is one of the instances which frequently occur in the Psalms, where, though there is a desponding spirit, or an apprehension of danger expressed in the beginning of the poem, it ends with the language of exultation and triumph. The psalmist speaks here as if what he had desired was actually accomplished, and as if the enemies that had encompassed him, and all the…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 12-18Verses 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…Read the comment
