< 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.
In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For he boasts a wicked [person] on [the] desire of self his and [one] greedy for unjust gain he blesses he spurns - Yahweh.
For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and the covetous renounceth, [yea], contemneth the LORD.
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, in the pride of his countenance, [saith], He will not require [it]. 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 ways are firm at all times; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his adversaries, 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 not be moved: to all generations I shall not 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 cursing and deceit and oppression: under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
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 the covert places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the helpless.
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 lurketh in the covert as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in 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, he boweth down, and the helpless fall by his strong ones.
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 hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will 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 poor.
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, Thou wilt not require [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.
Thon hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to take it into thy hand: the helpless committeth [himself] unto thee; thou hast been 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 wicked; and as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
16 Yahweh [is] king forever and ever they have perished [the] nations from land his.
The LORD is King for ever and ever: the nations are perished 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.
LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18 To vindicate [the] fatherless and [the] oppressed not he will repeat again to terrify humankind from the earth.
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man which is of the earth may be terrible no more.
