Hope for the hopeless

I love Psalm 10 because I feel this way many times towards God.
I love verse one. It seems that when we enter hard times that God is not near but He is. We must seek the Lord and God will honor us.
I love verses two to four. There are many famous and non-famous people that reject God and promote sin. They will accept everything but truth. We have a hole in our lives that only God will fill but they refuse the truth.
I love verse five to eleven because many people will think that God is not real and do many evil things. This is from Hitler to you or the person next to you.
We need to know God will judge you and me and He is kind but we must submit to Him.
If a person don't have Jesus then they don't have the Holy Spirit. That person will do little and big bad activities in their hearts and actions.
I don't want to make all the believers that everything is for nothing because there is a next life where God will rule and punish all the sins of this world.
I love verses twelve to fifteen because it gives me hope. The world will never focus on the millions or billion of Christians in Africa that is being killed by Muslims, but God see the act of the followers and will hear them.
The last three verses should give hope for you and me. God is in control. God look after the fatherless. I am living proof. I did have a dad but he was never there for me. God was reaching out to me and I heard His call. God hears the oppressed and He will give them peace. This world shows that we are weak and we need to follow the Lord Jesus.

Psalm 10

  
Why, Lord, do you stand far off?
    Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,
    who are caught in the schemes he devises.
He boasts about the cravings of his heart;
    he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
    in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
His ways are always prosperous;
    your laws are rejected by  him;
    he sneers at all his enemies.
He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
    He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”
His mouth is full of lies and threats;
    trouble and evil are under his tongue.
He lies in wait near the villages;
    from ambush he murders the innocent.
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
    like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;
    he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
10 His victims are crushed, they collapse;
    they fall under his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God will never notice;
    he covers his face and never sees.”
12 Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God.
    Do not forget the helpless.
13 Why does the wicked man revile God?
    Why does he say to himself,
    “He won’t call me to account”?
14 But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted;
    you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;
    you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked man;
    call the evildoer to account for his wickedness
    that would not otherwise be found out.
16 The Lord is King for ever and ever;
    the nations will perish from his land.
17 You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;
    you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
    so that mere earthly mortals
    will never again strike terror.
