Harnessing Psalm 10 for Divine Justice and Spiritual Cleansing

In traditional psalm magic, Psalm 10 is often used to cultivate perseverance, eliminate negative influences, boost self-confidence, and cleanse and purify the aura. Today, we will focus on using it for divine justice.

If you feel that any injustice is occurring in your life, this psalm is an excellent resource to address that. You may notice an immediate shift in your perception, and when your perspective changes, positive outcomes are often just around the corner.

How to Work Psalm Magic

The process of working with psalm magic is both simple and effective. First, we read the psalm out loud in its entirety without interruption, which we refer to as an incantation.

Next, we will go through the psalm verse by verse, reflecting on each line. Our goal is to uncover hidden meanings in each verse, and we will rely on our intuition in the process. I find that it feels similar to giving a tarot reading, allowing the psalm to communicate with us.

As we discover these hidden meanings, we will call them "magic seeds." By using our intuition to uncover these seeds, we essentially plant them in the depths of our minds. This work involves identifying these seeds and considering how they relate to the specific issues we bring to the psalm.

It is important to note that you may never uncover all the magic seeds in one reading. If you revisit the same Psalm 20 times, you might find 20 different sets of seeds. This is a positive aspect of the practice.

Think of your subconscious mind as fertile ground where these seeds can take root. They will grow, blossom, and ultimately bear fruit in their own unique way. That is precisely what you and I are going to do together right now with Psalm 10.

Psalm 10

1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

Starting Your Psalm Magic with Psalm 10

We begin by exploring the identity of “the Lord” as referenced in the King James Version of the Bible. In this context, "the Lord" is a translation of the Tetragrammaton (YHVH), which represents the initials of what is believed to be God's proper name in the ancient Hebraic faith. For us as magicians, this carries specific symbolism.

It signifies that which cannot be named—an embodiment of the one power, one force, one source, and one substance that pervades the entire universe. There is one infinite mind, one infinite being, and one infinite power. 

When we recognize that there is only one, we can better understand that the ego's illusion—this sense of separateness in the world—is the root cause of many of our problems. If we can at least begin to conceptualize this idea, we realize that by connecting with that one source, we step outside the thought system that leads to whatever problem we seek to resolve or heal.

1. Why standest thou far off, O Lord? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? 

During difficult times, it's common to feel that if a god exists, they are distant and have forgotten us. We tend to feel all alone and helpless. Recognizing these feelings is important. When we face troubles, particularly related to injustice, these emotions tend to intensify. Sometimes, it may seem as if we are just the punchline of a cosmic joke.

This realization is crucial to address. If we don’t acknowledge these feelings, then everything else we say is meaningless. We must allow ourselves to truly feel what we are experiencing.

Some of us follow a psalmic path, returning to the psalms regularly. However, many individuals turn to the psalms because other methods have failed them; it often becomes a last resort.

If this is you, working a Psalm can feel like a desperate measure. Part of the reason you may be seeking out this psalm is that you feel hopeless. It's essential to bring that hopelessness to the surface so it can be cleansed.

Remember, one of the purposes of this psalm is to cleanse the electromagnetic field, also known as your aura, from thought forms and energies that attract what you do not want. Doing so can significantly contribute to achieving the success you're seeking. Therefore, whatever challenges you are facing, let your feelings come to light and be honest with yourself about them.

2. The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor. Let them be taken in the devices that they've imagined. 

If you're addressing some form of injustice or witnessing someone behaving badly, what you are truly asking for is for their wrongful actions to lead to their own downfall.

You shouldn't have to engage in any kind of conflict over this. In truth, there is no true evil or injustice from a higher perspective. If we allow the truth to illuminate the situation, any apparent evil will undo itself. This concept is often referred to as a reversing spell in magical practices.

The idea is to let someone else's negativity turn back on them. In martial arts, practitioners don’t rely solely on their strength; instead, they use their opponent's force against them. When we learn to step away from evil intent and not engage in it, the energy rebounds on the sender. They end up attacking themselves instead of us.

We need to understand that life is essentially a cycle of boomerangs—a game of comebacks. Everything you send out into the universe is part of you and never truly leaves you. Eventually, you will reap the consequences of your actions. No one escapes themselves.

With this awareness in mind, let’s act promptly and not delay in that comeback.

3. For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire and blesseth the covetous whom the Lord abhorreth.

When we encounter injustice from others, it often appears as if they are sneering and laughing, seemingly unaffected by the harm they cause. We might wonder, "Why do they seem invulnerable, almost Teflon-like? I just don’t get it. I know that the infinite doesn’t support this behavior. It’s obvious to me that this isn’t the infinite’s will, yet they continue to escape the consequences. Meanwhile, I try to be virtuous and kind, doing my best, but I can barely make things work. What explains this?"

4. The wicked, through the pride of their demeanor, do not seek after God. God is absent from their thoughts.

And that's the truth. If the people we are trying to hold accountable were focused on the Infinite ("God"), they wouldn’t act this way. But they don’t care. They really don’t care.

This lack of care is part of why they seem to achieve success, at least for a while. They don’t carry the burdens of guilt. If you’re projecting guilt into the universe, you’re likely to face consequences.

Those of us with a conscience often encounter swift repercussions for our actions. In contrast, people who lack a sense of right and wrong and do not believe they are bound by justice seem to evade any punishment. Temporarily.

It may seem like they get away with everything because they don’t feel guilty. Since they don’t project guilt onto the screen of space, they avoid the consequences that often come to people with a conscience. It’s important to remember that this success is only temporary; it's just an illusion. A glamor. God isn't fooled by glamours, so it can't stand up against God's will. They don't truly avoid repercussions; they just delay them.

5. His ways are always grievous. Thy judgments are far above out of his sight. As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 

People who are unjust, who don't care, and who seem to escape the consequences of their actions always seem to have many grievances. They recurrently find reasons to justify their unjust actions. Someone always deserves what they get.

When it says he "puffeth up" at his enemies, it illustrates how he inflates his ego. The term "puffed up" creates a vivid picture of an enlarged ego.

A puffed-up ego can appear powerful for a while on Earth. It may seem significant, but ultimately, it is not. The actions of such people might seem to have lasting effects, and in the grand scheme of time, it may take a while for their injustices to be resolved.

However, if you look through history, you will find that every injustice eventually gets addressed. Injustice may take time to resolve, but it does, ultimately. The idea of magic, in this context, is that we don’t need to wait for that natural resolution. We can claim it for ourselves right now.

Furthermore, it's important to remember that what we want is justice for ourselves and for our loved ones. We're not seeking retribution here. That would only tie us further to this person. If your focus is on revenge—such as eagerly anticipating their downfall or punishment—you are shifting from a spell for justice to a spell for revenge.

Those types of spells are very different and can create more problems for the person casting them than they are worth. Therefore, that is not our aim in this operation. Instead, we are calling upon divine justice, which is our divine right.

6. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved, for I shall never be in adversity. 

These personalities seem to have a lot of staying power in the temporal world because they have discovered a trick: if they adopt a sociopathic mindset—free from regret or remorse—they can avoid projecting those feelings onto the world around them.

From their perspective, they can get away with anything. They believe they will never face adversity, that nothing will affect them, that they are untouchable, like Teflon.

They look at their history and see that nothing bad ever happens to them. They feel there is no justice awaiting them because they consider themselves more powerful than others.

Their attitude is that nothing negative will ever come back to them. For now, this thought system seems to be working for them.

7. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud. Under his tongue is mischief and vanity. 

This Psalm provides a remarkable personality profile of people who have no remorse, no sense of right or wrong, and no compassion.

They're in it for themselves. These are the ones who always seem to get away with everything. But that never lasts. It can't. This kind of personality isn't God's will. These people's souls will have a lot of work to do to untangle themselves from their Karma, but that's really none of our business. We just want them to stop bothering us.

8. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages. In the secret places doth he murder the innocent. His eyes are privily set against the poor. 

Let's take a moment to reflect on ourselves and acknowledge the traits we find within our own ego. 

While we may not be unjust toward others, our ego can be unjust toward ourselves. This is what our ego does; it hides in the recesses of our minds, which represent different areas of our lives. 

In these hidden spaces, it undermines our self-worth, creating situations that lead us to believe we are not good enough and to see ourselves as victims. Our ego will manipulate circumstances to ensure we encounter people who reinforce these beliefs.

Just as those who are unjust to others look down on others, our ego looks down on our own shortcomings. These individuals often seem to embody ego without any connection to their true selves. 

Recognizing these qualities in others can reveal how our own ego harms us. Once we understand this, we can seek healing for the part of our mind that causes self-harm and attracts similar behaviors in others. It’s important to address not only external events but also the internal issues that drive them. The ego thrives on these problems and draws strength from them. Understanding this can lead not only to the justice we seek but also to a deeper healing within ourselves.

9. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den. He lieth in wait to catch the poor. He doth catch the poor when he draweth him into his net. 

The perpetrators we are talking about, the ones who deserve justice, can sometimes seem so harmless. Too perfect sometimes even. Pretty lions are sleeping. Living in the dark. Hiding who they are and what they do. They are very seductive.

Our ego behaves similarly, often trying to make something terrible appear appealing, harmless, and disguised as a good idea. It’s a deceptive trick that shifts us away from our true selves, leading to fear, aggression, and revenge. However, by focusing on the Infinite, these ego strategies become obvious, and we understand we don't need to get drawn into them.

10. He croucheth and humbleth himself that the poor may fall by his strong ones. 

Fake, fake, fake. This false sense of humility and the illusion of security are meant to deceive us. Don't trust any facade. These people are not genuine. Don't be fooled by their "humility." Don't be fooled by your own ego's "humility" either. Don't put yourself down. Don't play their games. Don't cower to anyone. Keep your mind on the Infinite and let the Infinite handle it for you. Remember, these individuals can sink to the lowest levels. Don't let them pull you down to their level. Keep in mind that your ego may have led you here to be harsh on yourself. Don't fall for that trap. You are entitled to free yourself from others' cruelty, but only if you're willing to also let go of any cruelty directed toward yourself or others.

11. He has said in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides His face. He will never see it.”

This type of sociopathic behavior—regardless of a formal diagnosis—reflects the belief that, "I’ve always gotten away with everything in my life. Therefore, if there is a God, He must be either on my side or not paying attention because I never get caught. I consider myself too clever, potentially even smarter than God, if such a being exists."

We've identified the problem and the personality types involved. We've recognized where this mindset exists within our own egos, even though, for many of us, the ego often works against us rather than targeting others.

Now that we’ve acknowledged everything, let’s take action to address it.

12. Arise, O Lord, O God. Lift up thy hand. Do not forget the humble.

God is neither asleep nor hiding.

This reminds us that the power of invocation comes from us. When we invoke, there is always a response.

13. Why do the wicked contemn God? They say in their hearts, "You will not require it." 

To "contemn" means to despise or hold in contempt. The wicked regard God with disdain, thinking, "Nothing bad will happen to me; I can take what I want from anyone." They either believe that there is no God or that God has no power, since, in their estimation, they will never be accountable for their actions.

14. Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

When the text speaks of the fatherless, it refers to orphans—those who are helpless. We feel powerless in the face of these injustices and challenges. It is your job to help us. The Ego's only role is to convince us that we are orphans. We are all alone. God created us and then left us by ourselves. It comes up with all kinds of evidence to prove this lie.

But this verse reminds us that the Infinite holds restitution for us for all the trouble that we have been caused (requite it with thy hand). However, it is up to us to claim this restitution. We commit ourselves to the infinite by invoking the law of restitution for ourselves. We must actively ask for it, not just wonder why God doesn't help us.

15. Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man. Seek out his wickedness till thou find none. 

When we say "break his arm," we're not literally asking for someone's arm to be physically broken. Instead, we're asking for the power to harm us to be taken away. We want their ability to continue abusing to be eliminated. We're also referring to breaking that abusive part within our own ego.

Our goal is to shatter this negative influence in both the invisible, inner world and the visible, physical world. The phrase "seek out his wickedness till thou find none" speaks to our desire to purify our lives of all forms of wickedness until they are completely eradicated.

Imagine the Infinite pouring of a purifying agent, whether it be light or water, cleansing your life of whatever is harmful. Remember, nothing can change until we invoke this transformation. But now that we have called it forth, change is happening. It’s in motion.

16. The Lord is king forever and ever. The heathen are perished out of his land.

The "heathen" refers to the errant thought forms that create these issues. Remember that thought is causative; there can never be the effect of injustice without a thought of injustice. The Lord is king forever means that, right now, in this moment, there is no power other than the Infinite, and we have invoked it. This power is to these harmful thought forms as light is to darkness: darkness disappears in the presence of light.

As a result of our invocation, the Infinite is responding. This magic is active right now. These stray thought forms that have been causing injustice will be removed from His land—meaning from all the spaces that the Infinite creates for us. They are completely removed from our lives. 

17. Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart

This passage speaks formally about us, the ones performing this spell. It conveys that we are humble and have sought guidance. 

We are expressing, "I am humbly asking you to prepare my heart and help me listen. If my heart is open to You and my ears—my ability to perceive and follow Your guidance—are tuned to Your voice, this situation will not only be healed, but You will also ensure I am never in this position again."

18. To judge the fatherless and the oppressed that the man of the earth may no more oppress. 

We are telling the Infinite, "I ask You to judge me, the one experiencing victimization both internally and externally. I am ready to accept my part in this, whatever it may be. But I want Your judgment," implying a process of cleansing. In this context, God's judgment means sorting through everything. "I wish to retain everything You created for me and to release and eliminate all that is not Your will."

Remember, injustice is not the will of the infinite. The infinite does not desire you to endure suffering, nor does it want abusive people to hold power over you. It also does not wish to harm yourself. Therefore, none of what you're experiencing is in accordance with the Infinite's will. This is why you seek the judgment of the Infinite—to be purified of everything that does not align with its will.

Continue Working Psalm 10

This is a powerful process, and it’s important to return to it consistently. Once a day is sufficient. Keep coming back to Psalm 10 and applying these guiding principles to your situation each day until you gain a sense of peace about it. You will develop a feeling of certainty, free from worry.

This sense of peace is a signal from your deeper self that this transformation is underway, and it’s only a matter of time before you begin to see changes in your reality.

Thank you for spending your time with me. Until next time, blessed be.
