Psalmi 10
1 Zakaj stojiš daleč stran, oh Gospod? Zakaj se skrivaš v časih stiske?
Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2 Zlobni v svojem ponosu preganjajo revnega. Naj se ujamejo v naklepe, ki so si jih domislili.
In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
3 Kajti zlobni se baha z željo svojega srca in blagoslavlja pohlepnega, ki ga Gospod prezira.
For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4 Zlobni zaradi ponosa svojega obličja ne bo povpraševal po Bogu. V vseh njegovih mislih ni Boga.
In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
5 Njegove poti so vedno boleče, tvoje sodbe so daleč zgoraj izven njegovega pogleda. Glede na vse njegove sovražnike on puha nanje.
He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
6 V svojem srcu je rekel: »Ne bom omajan, kajti nikoli ne bom v nadlogi.«
He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
7 Njegova usta so polna preklinjanj, prevare in sleparstva. Pod njegovim jezikom je vragolija in prazne reči.
His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
8 Sedi v skrivališčih vasi. Na skrivnih krajih mori nedolžnega. Njegove oči so na skrivaj naravnane zoper revnega.
He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
9 Na skrivnem preži kakor lev v svojem brlogu. Leži na preži, da ujame revnega. Revnega ujame, ko ga vleče v svojo mrežo.
He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
10 Klečeplazi in se ponižuje, da lahko revni pade po njegovih močnih.
They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
11 V svojem srcu je rekel: »Bog je pozabil. Skriva svoj obraz, tega nikoli ne bo videl.«
He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
12 Vstani, oh Gospod, oh Bog, dvigni svojo roko. Ne pozabi ponižnega.
Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
13 Zakaj zlobni zaničuje Boga? V svojem srcu je rekel: »Ti tega ne boš zahteval.«
Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
14 To si videl, kajti gledaš vragolijo in zlobnost, da to poplačaš s svojo roko. Revni se ti izroča, pomočnik si osirotelemu.
But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Zlomi laket zlobnemu in zlemu človeku. Preiskuj njegovo zlobnost, dokler je ne najdeš več.
Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
16 Gospod je Kralj na veke vekov. Pogani so izginili iz njegove dežele.
The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
17 Gospod, slišal si hrepenenje ponižnih. Pripravil boš njihovo srce, svojemu ušesu boš povzročil, da sliši,
You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
18 da razsodiš osirotelega in zatiranega, da človek iz zemlje ne more več zatirati.
to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
