   In Psalm 10:8, the singular noun occurs in the clause about stealthy watching from hiding places; the APB renders the target as “the helpless.” In Psalm 10:10, the plural occurs where such people are crushed, collapse, and fall under mighty ones, while Psalm 10:14 places the singular in the clause where this person commits himself for help; the APB again renders “the helpless.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Psalm 10:8, Psalm 10:10, and Psalm 10:14, the APB uses “the helpless” in clauses of ambush, crushing, and committing oneself for help. The verse is read as a whole, so this rendering confirms the verse contexts rather than isolating each term mechanically.
