Commentary for Psalms 10:5
יָ֘חִ֤ילוּ דרכו [דְרָכָ֨יו ׀] בְּכָל־עֵ֗ת מָר֣וֹם מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ מִנֶּגְדּ֑וֹ כָּל־צ֝וֹרְרָ֗יו יָפִ֥יחַ בָּהֶֽם׃
His ways prosper at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight; As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
Rashi on Psalms
prosper Heb. יחילו, prosper, and similar to this is (in Job 20:21): “therefore shall his goods not prosper (יחיל).” Others explain יחילו like (II Sam. 3:29): “May it rest (יחולו) upon the head of Joab.”

Radak on Psalms
His ways are grievous – ( יחילו may be explained) from the significance of חיל in "pain (חיל) as of a woman in travail" (Ps.xlviii. 7). He says: that the evil ways of the wicked cause pangs to the poor.

Rashi on Psalms
Your judgments are far removed from him Your judgments of pains and punishments are removed and distanced from him, for they do not come upon him.
