Psalms 10:18

To judge, i.e. to defend them, and give sentence for them, and against their enemies, as this word is used, Deuteronomy 32:36 Psalms 7:8, Psalms 135:14. The man of the earth, i.e. earthly and mortal men, who are made of the dust, and must return to it, such as the oppressors of thy people are; who yet presume most audaciously and madly to contend with thee their Maker and Judge. Therefore it is time for thee to repress such insolency, and to show how unable they are to stand before thee. May no more oppress, to wit, the fatherless last mentioned.
