RRB Notes on Psalm 10

Psalms 10 KJV

1. Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? [a]

[a] Jer. 30:7.

2. The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

3. For the wicked [b] boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

[b] Vss. 2-15 are a reference to the Antichrist.

4. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

5. His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

6. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

7. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

8. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

9. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

10. He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor [c] may fall by his strong ones.

[c] See the emphasis on “the poor” in vss. 8-10. Cf. James 1:9-11, 2:5-7, 5:1-6.

11. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

12. Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

13. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

14. 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.

15. Break thou the arm of the wicked [d] and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

[d] Zech. 11:17.

16. The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. [1] [e]

[1] The verse is to be taken literally, showing that it never took place. When Jesus came as the “King of the Jews,” He was crucified. He was not their king “for ever” and hasn’t been since. The “heathen” are not “perished” out of the land; the “heathen” took over the land under Nebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C., and a successive line of heathen (Persians. Greeks, and Romans) took it over and controlled it until Jesus came. After the Romans left, the Arabians took it over until the Turks took it, and then the British got it back in 1917. But the land is “his land,” meaning that the United Nations (in the 21st Century) is doomed. They will perish “out of his land” because it is not their land (see more than thirty references in Genesis and Deuteronomy in Israel: A Deadly Piece of Dirt, Bible Baptist Bookstore, 2003).

[e] Second Advent (Psa. 18:43, 33:10, 47:8, 79:6, 96:10).

17. LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

18. To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth [f] may no more oppress.

[f] Another direct reference to the Antichrist (1 Cor. 15:47).

 RRB notes on Psalm 9

Psalms 9 KJV

To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.

1. I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

2. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

3. When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

4. For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

5. Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. [a]

[a] Second Advent (see notes on Psa. 8:1, 9:11).

6. O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

7. But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. [b]

[b] Second Advent (Matt. 25:31-46).

8. And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment [c] to the people in uprightness.

[c] See note on Psa. 7:8

9. The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11. Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: [1] declare among the people his doings.

[1] He’s not “dwelling in Zion” right now at all. All the apostates had to convert that “Zion” into “the Church” in order to get God to “dwell there.” This threw out the entire revelation. God dwells there literally at the Second Advent (Ezek. 48:35). They just don’t want Him to come back, but He will (Isa. 2:3-4, 24:23; Zech. 2:11).

12. When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

13. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

14. That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15. The heathen [d] are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

[d] Second Advent (Psa. 46:6, 102:15, 110:6; Ezek. 37:28, 38:16, 39:7; Joel 3:12).

16. The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

17. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. [e]

[e] The United Nations at the Second Advent (Matt. 25:32; Psa. 10:16, 22:28, 47:7-8, 60:12, 72:11, 17, etc.).

18. For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

19. Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. [f] 

[f] Second Advent (Psa. 7:6, 10:12, 17:13; Joel 3:12).

20. Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Note on Psa. 8:1

Psa 8:1 KJV

1. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! [1] who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

[1] The God of Israel has never had an excellent name “in all the earth,” but He will in the Millennium under a military dictatorship where He is the King (Psa. 72:9, 110:1-7; Isa. 2:2-4, 49:22-23; Rev. 2:26-27; App. 63, 110).

7. So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

[a] Vss. 7-8 are Second Advent references (Psa. 50:6, 94:2, 9:8, 72:2, 110:6; Isa. 3:13, 40:23).
