< תהילים 10 >
לָמָה יְהוָה תַּעֲמֹד בְּרָחוֹק תַּעְלִים לְעִתּוֹת בַּצָּרֽ͏ָה׃ | 1 |
Why stand you afar off, O Lord? [why] do you overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?
בְּגַאֲוַת רָשָׁע יִדְלַק עָנִי יִתָּפְשׂוּ ׀ בִּמְזִמּוֹת זוּ חָשָֽׁבוּ׃ | 2 |
While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
כִּֽי־הִלֵּל רָשָׁע עַל־תַּאֲוַת נַפְשׁוֹ וּבֹצֵעַ בֵּרֵךְ נִאֵץ ׀ יְהוָֽה׃ | 3 |
Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
רָשָׁע כְּגֹבַהּ אַפּוֹ בַּל־יִדְרֹשׁ אֵין אֱלֹהִים כָּל־מְזִמּוֹתָֽיו׃ | 4 |
The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after [him]: God is not before him.
יָחִילוּ דרכו דְרָכָיו ׀ בְּכָל־עֵת מָרוֹם מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ מִנֶּגְדּוֹ כָּל־צוֹרְרָיו יָפִיחַ בָּהֶֽם׃ | 5 |
His ways are profane at all times; your judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
אָמַר בְּלִבּוֹ בַּל־אֶמּוֹט לְדֹר וָדֹר אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־בְרָֽע׃ | 6 |
For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation.
אָלָה ׀ פִּיהוּ מָלֵא וּמִרְמוֹת וָתֹךְ תַּחַת לְשׁוֹנוֹ עָמָל וָאָֽוֶן׃ | 7 |
Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
יֵשֵׁב ׀ בְּמַאְרַב חֲצֵרִים בַּֽמִּסְתָּרִים יַהֲרֹג נָקִי עֵינָיו לְֽחֵלְכָה יִצְפֹּֽנוּ׃ | 8 |
He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to kill the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
יֶאֱרֹב בַּמִּסְתָּר ׀ כְּאַרְיֵה בְסֻכֹּה יֶאֱרֹב לַחֲטוֹף עָנִי יַחְטֹף עָנִי בְּמָשְׁכוֹ בְרִשְׁתּֽוֹ׃ | 9 |
He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him [after him]: he will bring him down in his snare.
ודכה יִדְכֶּה יָשֹׁחַ וְנָפַל בַּעֲצוּמָיו חלכאים חֵיל כָּאִֽים׃ | 10 |
He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
אָמַר בְּלִבּוֹ שָׁכַֽח אֵל הִסְתִּיר פָּנָיו בַּל־רָאָה לָנֶֽצַח׃ | 11 |
For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
קוּמָה יְהוָה אֵל נְשָׂא יָדֶךָ אַל־תִּשְׁכַּח עניים עֲנָוֽ͏ִים׃ | 12 |
Arise, O Lord God; let your hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
עַל־מֶה ׀ נִאֵץ רָשָׁע ׀ אֱלֹהִים אָמַר בְּלִבּוֹ לֹא תִדְרֹֽשׁ׃ | 13 |
Therefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it].
רָאִתָה כִּֽי־אַתָּה ׀ עָמָל וָכַעַס ׀ תַּבִּיט לָתֵת בְּיָדֶךָ עָלֶיךָ יַעֲזֹב חֵלֶכָה יָתוֹם אַתָּה ׀ הָיִיתָ עוֹזֵֽר׃ | 14 |
You see [it]; for you do observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into your hands: the poor has been left to you; you were a helper to the orphan.
שְׁבֹר זְרוֹעַ רָשָׁע וָרָע תִּֽדְרוֹשׁ־רִשְׁעוֹ בַל־תִּמְצָֽא׃ | 15 |
Break you the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
יְהוָה מֶלֶךְ עוֹלָם וָעֶד אָבְדוּ גוֹיִם מֵֽאַרְצֽוֹ׃ | 16 |
The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: you Gentiles shall perish out his land.
תַּאֲוַת עֲנָוִים שָׁמַעְתָּ יְהוָה תָּכִין לִבָּם תַּקְשִׁיב אָזְנֶֽךָ׃ | 17 |
The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: your ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
לִשְׁפֹּט יָתוֹם וָדָךְ בַּל־יוֹסִיף עוֹד לַעֲרֹץ אֱנוֹשׁ מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 18 |
to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
