Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 10:2

2. The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor : let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

Through pride of Heart; which makes him forget God, v. 4. and despise the Poor, and oppress others, either because they oppose or dislike his wicked Courses, or that he may have more Fewel for his Pride or Ambition. Or, in his Exaltation. This is the use that he makes of that power and Authority to which thou hast advanced him, to persecute those whom he should protect and cherish. He seems to point at Saul or his Courtiers.

With great fervency and burning Fury, as the word signifies.

To wit, me who am through their Tyranny poor and destitute, and miserable, and therefore the more proper Object for thy Compassion, and others who favour my righteous Cause.
