Psalms 10
1 Why stand you afar off, O Lord? [why] do you overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?
耶和華啊，你為甚麼站在遠處？ 在患難的時候為甚麼隱藏？
2 While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
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。
3 Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
因為惡人以心願自誇； 貪財的背棄耶和華，並且輕慢他。
4 The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after [him]: God is not before him.
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。
5 His ways are profane at all times; your judgements are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
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。
6 For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation.
他心裏說：我必不動搖， 世世代代不遭災難。
7 Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
他滿口是咒罵、詭詐、欺壓， 舌底是毒害、奸惡。
8 He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to kill the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
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；
9 He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him [after him]: he will bring him down in his snare.
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。
10 He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
他屈身蹲伏， 無倚無靠的人就倒在他爪牙 之下。
11 For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
他心裏說：上帝竟忘記了； 他掩面永不觀看。
12 Arise, O Lord God; let your hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
耶和華啊，求你起來！ 上帝啊，求你舉手，不要忘記困苦人！
13 Therefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it].
惡人為何輕慢上帝， 心裏說：你必不追究？
14 You see [it]; for you do observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into your hands: the poor has been left to you; you were a helper to the orphan.
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。
15 Break you the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
願你打斷惡人的膀臂； 至於壞人，願你追究他的惡，直到淨盡。
16 The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: you Gentiles shall perish out his land.
耶和華永永遠遠為王； 外邦人從他的地已經滅絕了。
17 The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: your ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
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，
18 to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
為要給孤兒和受欺壓的人伸冤， 使強橫的人不再威嚇他們。
