John Mark Hicks

How does one ask, “Why, O Lord, do you hide yourself in times of trouble?” and also confess, “The Lord is King . . . and you will hear the desire of the afflicted”? This is Psalm 10

Bobby Valentine and John Mark Hicks discuss the significance of this Psalm as the voice of the poor and oppressed. It gives the powerless a voice, and address King Yahweh as the protector of the poor who will do justice so that the terror of the powerful might be removed from the earth.
