< Psalms 10 >

1 Why? O Yahweh do you stand at a distance do you hide? to times of trouble.
Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
2 In [the] pride of [the] wicked he hotly pursues [the] afflicted they are caught - by schemes which they have planned.
Through the haughtiness of the wicked the poor are in distress; They are caught in the wiles which are contrived for them.
3 For he boasts a wicked [person] on [the] desire of self his and [one] greedy for unjust gain he blesses he spurns - Yahweh.
The wicked boasteth of his heart's desire; The rapacious renounceth and contemneth Jehovah.
4 A wicked [person] according to [the] haughtiness of nose his not he seeks [are] there not [is] a god all thoughts his.
The wicked [[saith]] in his haughtiness, “He careth not!” All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
5 They endure (ways his *Q(k)*) at every time [are] height judgments your from before him all opposers his he breathes out at them.
His course is always prosperous; Far in the heights are thy judgments from him; As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 He says in heart his not I will be shaken to a generation and a generation who not in distress.
He saith in his heart, “I shall never fall; I shall never be in adversity.”
7 A curse mouth his it is full and deceit and oppression [are] under tongue his mischief and wickedness.
His mouth is full of perjury, deceit, and oppression; Mischief and injustice are upon his tongue.
8 He sits - in an ambush of villages in hiding places he kills [the] innocent eyes his for an unfortunate person they lie hidden.
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.
9 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.
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.
10 (He is crushed *Q(K)*) he is bowed down and he falls among mighty [ones] his (an army of disheartened [people]. *Q(K)*)
He croucheth, and lowereth himself, And the wretched fall into his paws.
11 He says in heart his he has forgotten God he has hidden face his not he sees to perpetuity.
He saith in his heart, “God doth forget; He hideth his face; he doth never see it.”
12 Arise! O Yahweh O God lift up hand your may not you forget (humble [people]. *Q(K)*)
Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up thine hand: Forget not the distressed!
13 Concerning what? - has he spurned [the] wicked - God has he said? in heart his not you will seek.
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, “He careth not for it”?
14 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.
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.
15 Break [the] arm of [the] wicked and [the] evil you will seek wickedness his not you will find.
Break thou the arm of the unjust and wicked man; Seek out his wickedness, till thou canst find none!
16 Yahweh [is] king forever and ever they have perished [the] nations from land his.
Jehovah is king for ever and ever; The gentiles shall perish out of his land.
17 [the] desire of Humble [people] you have heard O Yahweh you establish heart their you cause to pay attention ear your.
Thou, O LORD! wilt hear the desires of the distressed; Thou wilt strengthen their hearts; Thou wilt lend a listening ear!
18 To vindicate [the] fatherless and [the] oppressed not he will repeat again to terrify humankind from the earth.
Thou wilt maintain the cause of the fatherless and the oppressed, That henceforth none may be driven from the land.
