Defending the Fatherless (Psalm 10 - Part 2)

Today's full One Year Bible readings:
Genesis 26:17-27:46 ~ Matthew 9:1-17 ~ Psalm 10:16-18 ~ Proverbs 3:9-10

Today we look at Psalm 10 once again, specifically the last 3 verses. It is a final conclusion and a great reminder that God does see everything and is still in control; He sees the oppressed and He also sees the oppressor. The worshiper places his confidence in God's righteous judgment.

16 The LORD is King for ever and ever;
the nations will perish from his land.

17
You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted;
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,

18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.

Psalm 10:16-18 (NIV)

Today, as an act of worship, be confident in the Lord as you see the "injustices" of the world. Know that the Lord is not blind nor deaf; He sees, hears, knows, loves, and will make all things right. Ultimately, all things will exalt the glory of the grace of God in Christ Jesus. May He alone be praised.
