Psalm 10:12 New English Translation

¹²Rise up, Lord!^[a]
O God, strike him down.^[b]
Do not forget the oppressed.

Psalm 10:12 sn Rise up, O Lord! The psalmist’s mood changes from lament to petition and confidence.
Psalm 10:12 tn Heb “lift up your hand.” Usually the expression “lifting the hand” refers to praying (Pss 28:2; 134:2) or making an oath (Ps 106:26), but here it probably refers to “striking a blow” (see 2 Sam 18:28; 20:21). Note v. 15, where the psalmist asks the Lord to “break the arm of the wicked.” A less likely option is that the psalmist is requesting that the Lord declare by oath his intention to intervene.
