Psalm 10
Cries Unheard: A Psalm of Struggle and Triumph
Lyrics
Can anyone hear me
Expressing a plea for attention and connection, seeking acknowledgment.
Can anyone see inside this room
Wondering if anyone can understand the emotions and experiences within the speaker's private space.
Is anyone listening
Questioning if there is an audience, someone who is receptive to the speaker's message.
Why do you Lord stand so far away
Pondering the perceived distance of God in times of distress.
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble
Expressing a feeling of God's apparent absence during difficult moments.
Is there any hope here as I pray
Seeking hope through prayer despite the challenging circumstances.
For the wicked boast of the desires of his soul
Describing the arrogance of the wicked, boasting about their selfish desires.
In the pride of his face
Highlighting the prideful demeanor of the wicked person.
He doesn't see you as God
Not recognizing God's authority and divinity.
And the one greedy for gain
Portraying the greedy person who rejects God's lordship for personal gain.
Renounces you as Lord
Renouncing God as Lord and cursing Him.
He curses you
Emphasizing the act of cursing God, possibly reflecting the depth of the wicked person's rebellion.
He curses you
-Can anyone hear me
Repetition of the plea for attention and connection, underscoring a sense of desperation.
Can anyone see inside this room

-Can anyone hear me
-Can anyone see inside this room
-Is anyone listening
-The helpless are crushed
Depicting the suffering of the helpless, falling under the oppression of the wicked.
Sink down and fall
-Fall by the might of the wicked one
-He says in his heart Gods forgotten us all
Conveying a belief that the wicked think they are abandoned by God.
They're lured by the lies of the wicked one
Referring to the allure of false beliefs propagated by the wicked.
I won't dare say his name
Choosing not to utter the wicked one's name, emphasizing the undesirability of acknowledging evil.
Cuz that's all he wants
Speculating on the wicked one's desire to spread pain and false authority.
To broadcast his pain and false authority
Describing the wicked's use of poetic thoughts to deceive and lead astray.
He lures in poetic thoughts
Highlighting the deceptive tactics employed by the wicked in misleading the world.
Lying and leading this world
-'Til everyone's lost
Suggesting a world misled to the point of collective loss.
But does he think that
Pondering whether the wicked believes he can surpass God and questioning the wicked one's knowledge of the unmovable nature of God.
He can outdo you
-Does he know the God of the ages
-Is the, God who can't be moved
Affirming the unshakeable nature of God.
Oh, he lost to you
Reiterating the defeat of the wicked, emphasizing the loss to God.
He lost to you

-He lost, he lost, he lost to you
-Can anyone hear me
