Psalms 10
1 Why stand you far off, O LORD? why hide you yourself in times of trouble?
| למה יהוה תעמד ברחוק תעלים לעתות בצרה׃ |
2 The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
| בגאות רשע ידלק עני יתפשו במזמות זו חשבו׃ |
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD detests.
| כי הלל רשע על תאות נפשו ובצע ברך נאץ יהוה׃ |
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
| רשע כגבה אפו בל ידרש אין אלהים כל מזמותיו׃ |
5 His ways are always grievous; your judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffs at them.
| יחילו דרכו בכל עת מרום משפטיך מנגדו כל צורריו יפיח בהם׃ |
6 He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
| אמר בלבו בל אמוט לדר ודר אשר לא ברע׃ |
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
| אלה פיהו מלא ומרמות ותך תחת לשונו עמל ואון׃ |
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privately set against the poor.
| ישב במארב חצרים במסתרים יהרג נקי עיניו לחלכה יצפנו׃ |
9 He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
| יארב במסתר כאריה בסכה יארב לחטוף עני יחטף עני במשכו ברשתו׃ |
10 He crouches, and humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
| ודכה ישח ונפל בעצומיו חלכאים׃ |
11 He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face; he will never see it.
| אמר בלבו שכח אל הסתיר פניו בל ראה לנצח׃ |
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.
| קומה יהוה אל נשא ידך אל תשכח עניים׃ |
13 Wherefore does the wicked contemn God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it.
| על מה נאץ רשע אלהים אמר בלבו לא תדרש׃ |
14 You have seen it; for you behold mischief and spite, to requite it with your hand: the poor commits himself unto you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
| ראתה כי אתה עמל וכעס תביט לתת בידך עליך יעזב חלכה יתום אתה היית עוזר׃ |
15 Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till you find none.
| שבר זרוע רשע ורע תדרוש רשעו בל תמצא׃ |
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
| יהוה מלך עולם ועד אבדו גוים מארצו׃ |
17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:
| תאות ענוים שמעת יהוה תכין לבם תקשיב אזנך׃ |
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
| לשפט יתום ודך בל יוסיף עוד לערץ אנוש מן הארץ׃ |
