Psalm 10 Song: The Lord Is King Forever
Psalm 10 begins with a question that many thoughtful people have carried: why can injustice appear bold while help seems distant? “The Lord Is King Forever” does not rush past that tension, so listen closely to the complaint, name the longing for fairness, and let Psalm 10 lead toward a steadier conclusion.
It is possible to feel disturbed by exploitation while still holding hope that wrongdoing does not have the final word. Psalm 10 reframes honest protest as part of faith rather than its opposite; when the title line returns, notice how the song turns moral urgency into enduring trust.

The Lord Is King Forever Lyrics
Why do You stand so far off, O Lord
Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble
The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor
Let him be caught in the devices he imagined
For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire
He blesses the greedy whom the Lord despises
The wicked will not seek after God
God is not in all his thoughts
His ways always prosper
Your judgments are far above his sight
He puffs at all his enemies
He says in his heart I shall not be moved
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit
Under his tongue is mischief and fraud
He sits in the lurking places of the villages
In secret, he murders the innocent
He lies in wait like a lion in his den
Waiting to draw the poor into his net
He crouches low and makes himself humble
That the poor may fall through his strength
He says in his heart God has forgotten
He hides His face He will never see it
The Lord is King forever and ever
The Lord is King forever
Arise O Lord, lift up Your hand
Do not forget the humble
You have seen the mischief and the spite
You will repay it with Your hand
The poor commit themselves to You
You are the helper of the fatherless
Break the arm of the wicked man
Seek out his wickedness until there is none
The wicked have perished out of His land
The Lord is King forever and ever
Lord You have heard the desire of the humble
You prepare their heart, You cause Your ear to hear
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed
That the man of earth may oppress no more
The Lord is King forever and ever
The Lord is King.
