Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 10:11

11. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten : he hideth his face , he will never see it .

To wit, the poor v. 10. or the humble, which we are taught to supply out of v. 12. where he saith, forget not the humble. He forgets and neglects all their Oppressions and Prayers, and doth not avenge their cause, as he hath said he would do, nor execute Judgments upon their Oppressors, as he hath sometimes done or been thought to do.

Left he should see. He takes no notice of their Sufferings lest he should be engaged to help them. He will not encumber himself with the care of things done upon Earth, but leaves it wholy to men to manage their Affairs as they think fit.

To wit, the oppression of the poor, or the design of oppressors against them, which is the chief subject of the whole Psalm, and is particularly expressed v. 10.
