Psalm 10

Psalm 10 is the 10th psalm from the Book of Psalms.

The message is similar to that of Psalm 9, though it focuses more on the individual than humanity.^[1] In the Greek Septuagint and, consequently, in most pre-reformation Christian Bibles, it is considered part of Psalm 9, shifting the numbers of the following psalms down by one. These two consecutive Psalms have the form of a single acrostic Hebrew poem.
