Psalms 10
1 Yahweh, (why are you far away [from us]?/it seems that you are far away [from us].) [RHQ] Why do you not pay attention when we have troubles [RHQ]?
¿Por qué estás lejos, oh Yavé, Y te escondes en tiempos de angustia?
2 People who are proud gladly cause poor people to suffer. So [cause what they do to others to happen to them]! May they be caught in the [same] traps that they set to catch others [MET]!
Por la arrogancia del impío el pobre es consumido. ¡Caigan en las trampas que ellos mismos inventaron!
3 They brag about the [evil] things that they want to do. They praise people who seize from others things that do not belong to them, and they curse you, Yahweh.
Porque el impío se jacta de lo que su alma ansía, Y el avaro maldice y desprecia a Yavé.
4 Wicked people are very proud. As a result, they do not (seek help from/are not concerned about) God; they do not even think that God exists.
Con altivez de su semblante, el perverso no averigua. ʼElohim no está en sus pensamientos.
5 But [it seems that] they succeed in everything that they do. They do not think that they will be condemned/punished for their deeds, and they (sneer at/make fun of) their enemies.
En todo tiempo sus caminos son torcidos. Tiene tus juicios lejos de su vista. Desprecia a todos sus adversarios.
6 They think, “Nothing bad will happen to us! We will never have troubles!”
Dice en su corazón: No seré conmovido. A través de todas las generaciones, no estaré en adversidad.
7 When they talk [MTY], they are always cursing, lying, and threatening to harm others. They constantly say [MTY] evil things that show that they are ready to do cruel things to others.
Su boca está llena de maldición, engaños, opresión. Debajo de su lengua hay vejación y maldad.
8 They hide in villages, ready to (ambush/suddenly attack) and kill people who (are innocent/have done nothing wrong). They constantly search for people who will not be able to (resist/defend themselves) [when they are attacked].
Se sienta al acecho, cerca de las aldeas. En escondrijos asesina al inocente. Sus ojos acechan para caerle al desvalido.
9 They are like [MET] lions that crouch down and hide, waiting to pounce on their prey. They are like hunters that catch their prey with a net and then drag it away.
Acecha en lo encubierto, como un león desde su guarida Espera para arrebatar al pobre. Arrebata al pobre, lo atrae a su red.
10 Just like helpless animals are crushed, people who cannot defend themselves are killed because wicked people are very strong.
Se encoge, se agazapa, Y el indefenso cae en sus fuertes garras.
11 Wicked people say, “God will not pay any attention [to what we do]. His eyes are covered, so he never sees anything.”
Dice en su corazón: ʼEL olvidó, Escondió su rostro, no verá jamás.
12 Yahweh God, arise [and help us] Punish [IDM] those wicked people! And do not forget those who are suffering!
¡Levántate, oh Yavé! ¡Oh ʼEL, levanta tu mano, Y no te olvides del humilde!
13 Wicked people revile you [RHQ] continually. They think, “God will never punish us!”
¿Por qué el perverso menosprecia a ʼElohim? Porque en su corazón piensa que no le pedirás cuenta.
14 But you see the trouble and the distress [that they cause]. People who are suffering expect that you will help them; and you help orphans, [also].
Sin embargo Tú lo ves, Porque observas el agravio y la vejación, Para retribuirlos con tu mano. ¡A Ti se encomienda el desvalido! ¡Tú eres el defensor del huérfano!
15 (Break the arms/Destroy the power) of wicked [DOU] people! Continue to pursue and punish them for the wicked things that they do, until they stop doing those things.
Quebranta el brazo del malvado y del perverso. Persigue su impiedad hasta que no haya ninguna.
16 Yahweh, you are our king forever, but [wicked] nations will disappear from the earth.
Yavé es Rey para siempre jamás. Las naciones que ocupaban su tierra perecerán.
17 You have listened to afflicted/suffering people when they cry out to you. You hear them [when they pray], and you encourage [IDM] them.
Oh Yavé, Tú has oído el anhelo de los humildes. Fortaleces sus corazones, tienes atento tu oído
18 You show that orphans and oppressed people have not done things that are wrong, with the result that human beings will not cause people to be terrified any more.
A fin de vindicar a los huérfanos y a los oprimidos, Para que el hombre de la tierra no los aterrorice más.
