Psalms 9 and 10 are traditionally considered as one continuous Psalms. David celebrates the victory of the glorious great King of Heaven and Earth, the Lord. David's enemies retreated from the face of God. Evocative of Psalms two, David reaffirms the greatness of the Lord as King of all. The Lord is a shelter and continuous source of help and the great righteous avenger of evil. A brief interlude in Psalms 10 tells of the exploits of the evil - their bragging and sneering, their mockery of God. David implores God to punish the wicked and not let their evil go without retribution.
Psalms 11 is an expression of faith. David states his trust in the Lord for protection and rebukes those who rely on human strength and will. God watches over all the Earth and is mindful of the righteous and evil, protecting the believer and punishing the sinner.
May God bless you and bless the reading of His Word.
