詩篇 10
1 耶和華啊，你為甚麼站在遠處？ 在患難的時候為甚麼隱藏？
Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2 惡人在驕橫中把困苦人追得火急； 願他們陷在自己所設的計謀裏。
In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
3 因為惡人以心願自誇； 貪財的背棄耶和華，並且輕慢他。
For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4 惡人面帶驕傲，說：耶和華必不追究； 他一切所想的都以為沒有上帝。
In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
5 凡他所做的，時常穩固； 你的審判超過他的眼界。 至於他一切的敵人， 他都向他們噴氣。
He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
6 他心裏說：我必不動搖， 世世代代不遭災難。
He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
7 他滿口是咒罵、詭詐、欺壓， 舌底是毒害、奸惡。
His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
8 他在村莊埋伏等候； 他在隱密處殺害無辜的人。 他的眼睛窺探無倚無靠的人；
He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
9 他埋伏在暗地，如獅子蹲在洞中。 他埋伏，要擄去困苦人； 他拉網，就把困苦人擄去。
He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
10 他屈身蹲伏， 無倚無靠的人就倒在他爪牙 之下。
They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
11 他心裏說：上帝竟忘記了； 他掩面永不觀看。
He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
12 耶和華啊，求你起來！ 上帝啊，求你舉手，不要忘記困苦人！
Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
13 惡人為何輕慢上帝， 心裏說：你必不追究？
Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
14 其實你已經觀看； 因為奸惡毒害，你都看見了， 為要以手施行報應。 無倚無靠的人把自己交託你； 你向來是幫助孤兒的。
But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
15 願你打斷惡人的膀臂； 至於壞人，願你追究他的惡，直到淨盡。
Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
16 耶和華永永遠遠為王； 外邦人從他的地已經滅絕了。
The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
17 耶和華啊，謙卑人的心願， 你早已知道。 你必預備他們的心， 也必側耳聽他們的祈求，
You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
18 為要給孤兒和受欺壓的人伸冤， 使強橫的人不再威嚇他們。
to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
