תהילים 10
| למה יהוה תעמד ברחוק תעלים לעתות בצרה׃ | 1 |
Why stand you afar off, O Lord? [why] do you overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?
| בגאות רשע ידלק עני יתפשו במזמות זו חשבו׃ | 2 |
While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
| כי הלל רשע על תאות נפשו ובצע ברך נאץ יהוה׃ | 3 |
Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
| רשע כגבה אפו בל ידרש אין אלהים כל מזמותיו׃ | 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.
| יחילו דרכו בכל עת מרום משפטיך מנגדו כל צורריו יפיח בהם׃ | 5 |
His ways are profane at all times; your judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
| אמר בלבו בל אמוט לדר ודר אשר לא ברע׃ | 6 |
For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation.
| אלה פיהו מלא ומרמות ותך תחת לשונו עמל ואון׃ | 7 |
Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
| ישב במארב חצרים במסתרים יהרג נקי עיניו לחלכה יצפנו׃ | 8 |
He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to kill the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
| יארב במסתר כאריה בסכה יארב לחטוף עני יחטף עני במשכו ברשתו׃ | 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 ישח ונפל בעצומיו חלכאים׃ | 10 |
He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
| אמר בלבו שכח אל הסתיר פניו בל ראה לנצח׃ | 11 |
For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
| קומה יהוה אל נשא ידך אל תשכח עניים׃ | 12 |
Arise, O Lord God; let your hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
| על מה נאץ רשע אלהים אמר בלבו לא תדרש׃ | 13 |
Therefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it].
| ראתה כי אתה עמל וכעס תביט לתת בידך עליך יעזב חלכה יתום אתה היית עוזר׃ | 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.
| שבר זרוע רשע ורע תדרוש רשעו בל תמצא׃ | 15 |
Break you the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
| יהוה מלך עולם ועד אבדו גוים מארצו׃ | 16 |
The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: you Gentiles shall perish out his land.
| תאות ענוים שמעת יהוה תכין לבם תקשיב אזנך׃ | 17 |
The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: your ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
| לשפט יתום ודך בל יוסיף עוד לערץ אנוש מן הארץ׃ | 18 |
to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
