A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
The Psalmist mourns God's apparent indifference to his troubles, which are aggravated by the successful malice, blasphemy, pride, deceit, and profanity of the wicked. On the just and discriminating providence of God he relies for the destruction of their false security, and the defense of the needy. (Psa. 10:1-18)

These are, of course, figurative terms (compare Psa 7:6; Psa 13:1, &c.).

hidest--Supply "thine eyes" or "face."

6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
