If You Cross reference this psalm in the New Living Translation it put a lot of meaning to it David is saying that he is tired of all the wickedness around him and is asking GOD to have mercy on the helpless and righteous have vengeance on the the wicked We need to keep our eyes on GOD Almighty And JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD and let the Holy Spirit guide us in our walk GOD BLESS ALL
The reason why the wicked despised God was the fact that they did not believe in the deity and holiness of our Lord God Almighty. They were not afraid to do evil because they were not convinced that God is an all-seeing, all-knowing and all-present God thus they were proud of their evil thoughts and evil works and were confident that they will not be caught and punished, they were not accountable to no one. they were blinded by their misconception about the power of God.Nothing is hidden before an all-knowing God,
Did you know that God humbles Himself to hear and answer our prayers? When we truly humble ourselves before the Lord :He humbles Himself also. Now that is Team work !!!!! Yes ! Amen !
contemn is an old english word which is very much like our modern word "contempt" read those scriptures with that word you see that the proud look unto God with disgust as the proud had more power than God All Mighty ungodly pride comes from santan himself, remember God resists the proud but gives grace to the Humble.
EVEN while i am striving to serve JESUS there is an adversary out there who thinks he is the victor.satan is defeated ...satan is the deceiver...satan is a puppet ...AS it is written "SUBMIT THEREFORE TO GOD,RESIST THE devil AND the devil must FLEE" JAMES 4;7
I take this Psalm to be a concise definition of the wicked; someone who believes [in his heart] that god exists, but is perpetually on vacation...and therefore scorns [contemns him].
Seek the Lord thou God and he will take care of all your enemies and the wicked who try to keep you from seeking out God!! Thank you dear Jesus for dying for us sinners and giving us the chance for everlasting life. Its so easy to do,yet a lott of us fall so short in Gods commings by choice! Help me to not fall short and bless me with all yur blessings as I wannt to seek all of Gods plans for me! I rebuke satan and all the wickedness that comes with him!! Praise God!! AMEN!!
"The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them." ( Psalm 10:4-5)
"...thy judgments are far above out of his sight..."
For us to see eye to eye with God; individuals, societies, and nations must keep the judgments of God.
There should be "condemn" - not contemn. I guess?
"...thy judgments are far above out of his sight..."
For us to see eye to eye with God; individuals, societies, and nations must keep the judgments of God.
