Psalms 10
1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
【求主隡除惡霸】上主，你為什麼站在遠處！在困苦之時竟隱藏不露？
2 Through the haughtiness of the wicked the poor are in distress; They are caught in the wiles which are contrived for them.
惡人蠻橫地難為弱小的人，叫他陷於預設的陰謀之中。
3 The wicked boasteth of his heart's desire; The rapacious renounceth and contemneth Jehovah.
惡人因隨心所欲而自慶，匪徒因輕慢上主而自幸；
4 The wicked [[saith]] in his haughtiness, “He careth not!” All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
惡人心高氣傲說：他絕不會追究！也絕沒有天主！這就是他的企圖。
5 His course is always prosperous; Far in the heights are thy judgments from him; As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
他的道路時時彎曲錯謬；常把你的懲罰拋諸腦後，對一切私仇常怒氣詛咒。
6 He saith in his heart, “I shall never fall; I shall never be in adversity.”
心下自語：我永遠不會動搖！我永永遠遠不會遭受災禍！
7 His mouth is full of perjury, deceit, and oppression; Mischief and injustice are upon his tongue.
他他滿口是欺詐與辱罵，舌下盡是惡毒與謊話。
8 He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed upon the poor.
他在村邊隱密處埋伏，他暗地裏要殺害無辜，他對不幸者窺伺注目，
9 He secretly lieth in wait, like a lion in a thicket; He lieth in wait to seize upon the helpless; He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
他在暗處伺伏，有如獅子蹲在洞口，要把貧困的人，伺機刮搜，將貧困者拖入網中劫走。
10 He croucheth, and lowereth himself, And the wretched fall into his paws.
他俯下身子，蹲伏在地下，不幸者便陷入他的爪牙；
11 He saith in his heart, “God doth forget; He hideth his face; he doth never see it.”
心下自語說：天主忘了，祂掩了面，永不再看。
12 Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up thine hand: Forget not the distressed!
上主天主，求你起來將手舉起，不要把窮苦人忘記。
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, “He careth not for it”?
為何讓人們輕慢天主，心下自語，「祂絕不會追究？」
14 Thou dost see it; yea, thou beholdest malice and oppression, And markest it upon thy hand! The poor committeth himself to thee; Thou art the helper of the fatherless.
其實你已看見欺壓與罪行，正考慮如何親手加以嚴懲；因此不幸的人向你投奔，唯有你是孤兒們的救星。
15 Break thou the arm of the unjust and wicked man; Seek out his wickedness, till thou canst find none!
願你打斷罪犯與惡人的臂膊，報復他的罪孽直至不再發作。
16 Jehovah is king for ever and ever; The gentiles shall perish out of his land.
上主為王，直至於萬世無疆；野蠻人必由祂領域中喪亡。
17 Thou, O LORD! wilt hear the desires of the distressed; Thou wilt strengthen their hearts; Thou wilt lend a listening ear!
上主，你垂允了謙卑者的心願，堅固他們的心靈，也側耳俯聽。
18 Thou wilt maintain the cause of the fatherless and the oppressed, That henceforth none may be driven from the land.
護衛孤兒和受壓迫者的特權，使塵世的人不再施恐怖手段
