Žalmy 10
1 Proč, ó Hospodine, stojíš zdaleka, a skrýváš se v čas ssoužení?
Why do you keep far away, O Lord? why are you not to be seen in times of trouble?
2 Z pychu bezbožník protivenství činí chudému. Ó by jati byli v zlých radách, kteréž vymýšlejí.
The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.
3 Neboť se honosí bezbožník v líbostech života svého, a lakomý sobě pochlebuje, a Hospodina popouzí.
For the evil-doer is lifted up because of the purpose of his heart, and he whose mind is fixed on wealth is turned away from the Lord, saying evil against him.
4 Bezbožník pro pýchu, kterouž na sobě prokazuje, nedbá na nic; všecka myšlení jeho jsou, že není Boha.
The evil-doer in his pride says, God will not make a search. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
5 Dobře mu se daří na cestách jeho všelikého času, soudové tvoji vzdáleni jsou od něho, i na všecky nepřátely své fouká,
His ways are ever fixed; your decisions are higher than he may see: as for his haters, they are as nothing to him.
6 Říkaje v srdci svém: Nepohnuť se od národu až do pronárodu, nebo ne bojím se zlého.
He has said in his heart, I will not be moved: through all generations I will never be in trouble.
7 Ústa jeho plná jsou zlořečenství, i chytrosti a lsti; pod jazykem jeho trápení a starost.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and false words: under his tongue are evil purposes and dark thoughts.
8 Sedí v zálohách ve vsech a v skrýších, aby zamordoval nevinného; očima svýma po chudém špehuje.
He is waiting in the dark places of the towns: in the secret places he puts to death those who have done no wrong: his eyes are secretly turned against the poor.
9 Číhá v skrytě jako lev v jeskyni své, číhá, aby pochytil chudého, uchvacujeť jej, a táhne pod sítku svou.
He keeps himself in a secret place like a lion in his hole, waiting to put his hands on the poor man, and pulling him into his net.
10 Připadá a stuluje se, dokudž by nevpadlo v silné pazoury jeho shromáždění chudých.
The upright are crushed and made low, and the feeble are overcome by his strong ones.
11 Říká v srdci svém: Zapomenulť jest Bůh silný, skryl tvář svou, nepohledíť na věky.
He says in his heart, God has no memory of me: his face is turned away; he will never see it.
12 Povstaniž, Hospodine Bože silný, vznes ruku svou, nezapomínejž se nad chudými.
Up! O Lord; let your hand be lifted: give thought to the poor.
13 Proč má bezbožník Boha popouzeti, říkaje v srdci svém, že toho vyhledávati nebudeš?
Why has the evil-doer a low opinion of God, saying in his heart, You will not make search for it?
14 Díváš se do času, nebo ty nátisk a bolest spatřuješ, abys jim odplatil rukou svou; na tebeť se spouští chudý, sirotku ty jsi spomocník.
You have seen it; for your eyes are on sorrow and grief, to take it into your hand: the poor man puts his faith in you; you have been the helper of the child who has no father.
15 Potři rámě bezbožného, a vyhledej nepravosti zlostného, tak aby neostál.
Let the arm of the sinner and the evil-doer be broken; go on searching for his sin till there is no more.
16 Hospodin jest králem věčných věků, národové z země své hynou.
The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations are gone from his land.
17 Žádost ponížených vyslýcháš, Hospodine, utvrzuješ srdce jejich, ucha svého k nim nakloňuješ,
Lord, you have given ear to the prayer of the poor: you will make strong their hearts, you will give them a hearing:
18 Abys soud činil sirotku a ssouženému, tak aby jich nessužoval více člověk bídný a zemský.
To give decision for the child without a father and for the broken-hearted, so that the man of the earth may no longer be feared.
