תהילים 10
| למה יהוה תעמד ברחוק תעלים לעתות בצרה | 1 |
Why do you stand far off, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
| בגאות רשע ידלק עני יתפשו במזמות זו חשבו | 2 |
In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
| כי-הלל רשע על-תאות נפשו ובצע ברך נאץ יהוה | 3 |
For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings, and he blesses the greedy, scorning the LORD.
| רשע--כגבה אפו בל-ידרש אין אלהים כל-מזמותיו | 4 |
The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek. All his thoughts are "There is no God."
| יחילו דרכו בכל-עת--מרום משפטיך מנגדו כל-צורריו יפיח בהם | 5 |
His ways are firm at all times. Your judgments are turned aside. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
| אמר בלבו בל-אמוט לדר ודר אשר לא-ברע | 6 |
He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken. From generation to generation I shall not experience calamity."
| אלה פיהו מלא--ומרמות ותך תחת לשונו עמל ואון | 7 |
His mouth is full of cursing and bitterness and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
| ישב במארב חצרים--במסתרים יהרג נקי עיניו לחלכה יצפנו | 8 |
He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
| יארב במסתר כאריה בסכה-- יארב לחטוף עני יחטף עני במשכו ברשתו | 9 |
He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.
| ודכה (ידכה) ישח ונפל בעצומיו חלכאים (חל כאים) | 10 |
The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
| 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, LORD. God, lift up your hand. Do not forget the helpless.
| על-מה נאץ רשע אלהים אמר בלבו לא תדרש | 13 |
Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "You will not seek (an accounting)."
| ראתה כי-אתה עמל וכעס תביט-- לתת בידך עליך יעזב חלכה יתום אתה היית עוזר | 14 |
But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
| שבר זרוע רשע ורע תדרוש-רשעו בל-תמצא | 15 |
Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
| יהוה מלך עולם ועד אבדו גוים מארצו | 16 |
The LORD is King forever and ever. The nations have perished from his land.
| תאות ענוים שמעת יהוה תכין לבם תקשיב אזנך | 17 |
LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your 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 terrify no more.
