< 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.
The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: 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 blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.
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, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts.
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 always grievous; thy judgments [are] far above out of his sight: [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 hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [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 cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue [is] mischief and vanity.
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 secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against 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 lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth 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] humbleth himself, that the poor may 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 hath said 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 thy hand: forget not the humble.
13 Concerning what? - has he spurned [the] wicked - God has he said? in heart his not you will seek.
Why doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said 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.
Thou hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite [it] with 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 wicked and the evil [man]: seek out his wickedness [till] thou shalt 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 heathen have 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 humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thy 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 the man of the earth may no more oppress.
