תהילים 10
| למה יהוה תעמד ברחוק תעלים לעתות בצרה | 1 |
Why do thou stand afar off, O Jehovah? Why do thou hide thyself in times of trouble?
| בגאות רשע ידלק עני יתפשו במזמות זו חשבו | 2 |
In the pride of the wicked man the poor man is hotly pursued. Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
| כי-הלל רשע על-תאות נפשו ובצע ברך נאץ יהוה | 3 |
For the wicked man boasts of his heart's desire. And the greedy man renounces, yea, despises Jehovah.
| רשע--כגבה אפו בל-ידרש אין אלהים כל-מזמותיו | 4 |
The wicked man, in the pride of his countenance, says, He will not require it. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
| יחילו דרכו בכל-עת--מרום משפטיך מנגדו כל-צורריו יפיח בהם | 5 |
His ways are profane at all times. Thy judgments are far above out of his sight. As for all his adversaries, he puffs at them.
| אמר בלבו בל-אמוט לדר ודר אשר לא-ברע | 6 |
He says in his heart, I shall not be moved. To all generations I shall not be in adversity.
| אלה פיהו מלא--ומרמות ותך תחת לשונו עמל ואון | 7 |
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
| ישב במארב חצרים--במסתרים יהרג נקי עיניו לחלכה יצפנו | 8 |
He sits in the lurking-places of the villages. In the covert places he murders the innocent man. His eyes are secretly set against the poor man.
| יארב במסתר כאריה בסכה-- יארב לחטוף עני יחטף עני במשכו ברשתו | 9 |
He lurks in secret as a lion in his covert. He lies in wait to catch the poor man. He catches the poor man when he draws him in his net.
| ודכה (ידכה) ישח ונפל בעצומיו חלכאים (חל כאים) | 10 |
He crouches, he bows down, and helpless men fall by his strong men.
| אמר בלבו שכח אל הסתיר פניו בל-ראה לנצח | 11 |
He says in his heart, God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.
| קומה יהוה--אל נשא ידך אל-תשכח עניים (ענוים) | 12 |
Arise, O Jehovah, O God, lift up thy hand. Do not forget the poor.
| על-מה נאץ רשע אלהים אמר בלבו לא תדרש | 13 |
Why does the wicked man despise God, and say in his heart, Thou will not require it?
| ראתה כי-אתה עמל וכעס תביט-- לתת בידך עליך יעזב חלכה יתום אתה היית עוזר | 14 |
Thou have seen. For thou behold mischief and spite, to repay with thy hand. The poor man commits himself to thee. Thou have been the helper of the fatherless.
| שבר זרוע רשע ורע תדרוש-רשעו בל-תמצא | 15 |
Break thou the arm of the sinner and the evil man. His wickedness shall be sought, and shall not be found.
| יהוה מלך עולם ועד אבדו גוים מארצו | 16 |
Jehovah is King forever and ever. The nations have perished out of his land.
| תאות ענוים שמעת יהוה תכין לבם תקשיב אזנך | 17 |
Jehovah, thou have heard the desire of the humble. Thou will prepare their heart, thou will cause thine ear to hear,
| לשפט יתום ודך בל-יוסיף עוד--לערץ אנוש מן-הארץ | 18 |
to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may no more be terrible.
