Psalms 10

1 Why do you stand far off, Jehovah? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

Why? O Yahweh do you stand at a distance do you hide? to times of trouble.

2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

In [the] pride of [the] wicked he hotly pursues [the] afflicted they are caught - by schemes which they have planned.

3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings, and he blesses the greedy, scorning Jehovah.

For he boasts a wicked [person] on [the] desire of self his and [one] greedy for unjust gain he blesses he spurns - Yahweh.

4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek. All his thoughts are "There is no God."

A wicked [person] according to [the] haughtiness of nose his not he seeks [are] there not [is] a god all thoughts his.

5 His ways are firm at all times. Your judgments are turned aside. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.

They endure (ways his *Q(k)*) at every time [are] height judgments your from before him all opposers his he breathes out at them.

6 He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken. From generation to generation I shall not experience calamity."

He says in heart his not I will be shaken to a generation and a generation who not in distress.

7 His mouth is full of cursing and bitterness and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

A curse mouth his it is full and deceit and oppression [are] under tongue his mischief and wickedness.

8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.

He sits - in an ambush of villages in hiding places he kills [the] innocent eyes his for an unfortunate person they lie hidden.

9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.

He lies in wait in hiding place - like a lion in lair its he lies in wait to seize [the] afflicted he seizes [the] afflicted when drags [him] away he in net his.

10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.

(He is crushed *Q(K)*) he is bowed down and he falls among mighty [ones] his (an army of disheartened [people]. *Q(K)*)

11 He says in his heart, "God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it."

He says in heart his he has forgotten God he has hidden face his not he sees to perpetuity.

12 Arise, Jehovah. God, lift up your hand. Do not forget the helpless.

Arise! O Yahweh O God lift up hand your may not you forget (humble [people]. *Q(K)*)

13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "You will not seek (an accounting)."

Concerning what? - has he spurned [the] wicked - God has he said? in heart his not you will seek.

14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

You have seen that you - mischief and vexation - you pay attention to put in hand your on you he abandons an unfortunate person [the] fatherless you - you are a helper.

15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.

Break [the] arm of [the] wicked and [the] evil you will seek wickedness his not you will find.

16 Jehovah is King forever and ever. The nations have perished from his land.

Yahweh [is] king forever and ever they have perished [the] nations from land his.

17 Jehovah, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

[the] desire of Humble [people] you have heard O Yahweh you establish heart their you cause to pay attention ear your.

18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

To vindicate [the] fatherless and [the] oppressed not he will repeat again to terrify humankind from the earth.
