Psalms 10:16
The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
BSB
ASV
Jehovah is King for ever and ever: The nations are perished out of his land.
KJV
The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
The Lord is King for ever and ever,.... Christ was King from everlasting, and during the Old Testament dispensation he was promised and prophesied of as King; and he had a kingdom when he was here on earth, though not of this world; nor was it with observation.
Therefore his peoples case is never desperate, seeing he ever lives to help them. The heathen - The Canaanites; whom God, as king of the world, expelled, and gave their land to his people. By which great example he confirms his faith and hope for the future.
The Psalm ends with a song of thanksgiving to the great and everlasting King, because he has granted the desire of his humble and oppressed people, has defended the fatherless, and punished the heathen who trampled upon his poor and afflicted children. Let us learn that we are sure to speed well, if we carry our complaint to the King of kings. Rights will be vindicated, and wrongs redressed, at his throne. His government neglects not the interests of the needy, nor does it tolerate oppression in the mighty.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
