What does Psalm 10:17 mean?

Even when God does not answer immediately, resulting in our frustration (Psalm 10:1), believers can rest in the knowledge that He does, in fact, hear His people. Knowing that God hears us should bring encouragement and strength.

During His ministry on earth, Jesus heard the cries of the poor and afflicted, and He came to their assistance. Reading Scripture in the synagogue in Nazareth, Jesus announced, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim the good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor" (Luke 4:18–19).

As the believer's great high priest, Jesus is available today to provide mercy, grace, and help in time of need (Hebrews 4:14–16). Believers are encouraged to replace all their anxiety with prayer and supplication with thanksgiving to God (Philippians 4:6). In response to prayer is the promise: "the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:7).
