Psalm 10 (11)

For the End; a psalm by David.

In the Lord I trust. How will you say to my soul,
“Flee to the mountains like a sparrow?”
See, the sinners stretch tight their bow;
They prepare their arrows in the
Quiver,
That in a moonless night they may
Shoot down the upright in heart.
For the things You created, they
Destroyed.
But what did the righteous man do?
The Lord is in His holy temple;
The Lord, His throne is in heaven;
His eyes are fixed upon the poor man,
HIs eyelids examine the sons of men.
The Lord examines the righteous man
And the ungodly man,
And he who loves unrighteousness
Hates his own soul.
He shall rain down snares upon
Sinners;
Fire and brimstone and a raging wind
Shall be the portion of their cup.
The righteous Lord loves
Righteousness;
His face beholds the upright.

Commentary from the Orthodox Study Bible

Ps 10 shows what it means for the Church to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ (v.1), for He is the End.
Trusting in the Lord overcomes cowardice (Flee to the mountains like a sparrow, v. 1)
Trusting in the Lord overcomes the devil and his angels
Trusting in the Lord makes the Church a dwelling place of God
Trusting in the Lord keeps one poor in spirit
Trusting in the Lord helps one love virtue and hate vice.

I love that God is like, I love you, I am looking at you, trust in Me. I will help you. Yes, God sees what the unrighteous do. He sees it. He wants us to know he sees what is going on and through trusting in Him, we will get through it. He will help us as we trust in Him.
