Context of Psalms 10:16
14You saw—for You see trouble and grief, to take it in Your hand. The victim puts his trust in You— You are the helper of the orphan. 15Break the arm of the wicked, evil one! Call him to account for his wickedness— until no more is found. Adonai is King forever and ever! Nations will be wiped off His land. 17You hear, Adonai, the desire of the meek. You encourage them and incline Your ear. 18You vindicate the orphan and oppressed, so that man, who is earthly, 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.

- 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.
