“When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble . humble: or, afflicted”
Psalms 9:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 9:12
God makes 'inquisition for blood' - He investigates and avenges injustice and murder. The Hebrew 'darash damim' (seeks blood) emphasizes God's commitment to justice for the oppressed. He 'remembereth them' and 'forgetteth not the cry of the humble.' This assures victims that God sees, records, and will address all injustice. The 'humble' (Hebrew 'anaw' - afflicted, meek) have God's special attention. This anticipates Christ's identification with the suffering and His promise of ultimate justice.
