Psalm 10:14 - O God, You are the helper of the fatherless

But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.

Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand The unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the helper of the orphan.

Psalm 10:14

Commentary

"You have seen" is the classic confession of trust in God in the psalms of lament. God does know; He does see; and He will act. God protects those like the fatherless who have no other protection (27:10).
