God's presence in our lives should be of comfort. To David, God was a great comfort. Psalms 9 & 11 celebrate that fact. But then we get to Psalm 10, and apparently there were those who lost faith in God. David encourages God to "get moving" (The Message).
The most talked about subject by some is "Why does God let bad things happen to good people?" Now, we can deflect that question by saying that there is no one good (Romans 3). But that fails to show God's care. God does know and care, and may want to use us as instruments to bring a person close to God. Or he/she may need to be broken of something.
Much of the pain we suffer we won't be able to resolve on this side of eternity. The one thing we can do is invoke God's presence in our lives. Then Psalm 10 turns into Psalm 9 or 11 for some.
