Psalms 10
1 Why, YHWH, do You stand at a distance? Do You hide in times of adversity?
Hvorfor står du så fjernt, o Herre, hvi dølger du dig i Trængselstider?
2 Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in schemes that they devised.
Den gudløse jager i Hovmod den arme, fanger ham i de Rænker, han spinder;
3 Because the wicked has boasted Of the desire of his soul, And he has blessed a dishonest gainer, He has despised YHWH.
thi den gudløse praler af sin Sjæls Attrå, den gridske forbander, ringeagter HERREN.
4 The wicked does not inquire according to the height of his face. “There is no God!” [are] all his schemes.
Den gudløse siger i Hovmod: "Han hjemsøger ej, der er ingen Gud"; det er alle hans Tanker.
5 His ways writhe at all times, Your judgments [are] on high before him, All his adversaries—he puffs at them.
Dog altid lykkes hans Vej, højt over ham går dine Domme; han blæser ad alle sine Fjender.
6 He has said in his heart, “I am not moved, [And am] not in calamity to generation and generation.”
Han siger i Hjertet: "Jeg rokkes ej, kommer ikke i Nød fra Slægt til Slægt."
7 His mouth is full of oaths, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
Hans Mund er fuld af Banden og Svig og Vold, Fordærv og Uret er under hans Tunge;
8 He sits in an ambush of the villages, He slays the innocent in secret places. His eyes secretly watch for the afflicted,
han lægger sig på Lur i Landsbyer, dræber i Løn den skyldfri, efter Staklen spejder hans Øjne;
9 He lies in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lies in wait to catch the poor, He catches the poor, drawing him into his net.
han lurer i Skjul som Løve i Krat, på at fange den arme lurer han, han fanger den arme ind i sit Garn;
10 He is bruised—he bows down, The afflicted has fallen by his mighty ones.
han dukker sig, sidder på Spring, og Staklerne falder i hans Kløer.
11 He said in his heart, “God has forgotten, He has hid His face, He has never seen.”
Han siger i Hjertet: "Gud glemmer, han skjuler sit Åsyn; han ser det aldrig."
12 Arise, O YHWH! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble.
Rejs dig, HERRE! Gud, løft din Hånd, de arme glemme du ikke!
13 Why has the wicked despised God? He has said in his heart, “It is not required.”
Hvorfor skal en gudløs spotte Gud, sige i Hjertet, du hjemsøger ikke?
14 You have seen, For You behold perverseness and anger; By giving into Your hand, The afflicted leave [it] on You, You have been a helper of the fatherless.
Du skuer dog Møje og Kvide, ser det og tager det i din Hånd; Staklen tyr hen til dig, du er den faderløses Hjælper.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;
Knus den ondes, den gudløses Arm, hjemsøg hans Gudløshed, så den ej findes!
16 YHWH [is] King for all time and forever, The nations have perished out of His land!
HERREN er Konge evigt og altid, Hedningerne er ryddet bort af hans Land;
17 You have heard the desire of the humble, O YHWH. You prepare their heart; You cause Your ear to attend,
du har hørt de ydmyges Ønske, HERRE, du styrker deres Hjerte, vender Øret til
18 To judge the fatherless and bruised: He adds no more to oppress—man of the earth!
for at skaffe fortrykte og faderløse Ret. Ikke skal dødelige mer øve Vold.
