Psalmi 10
1 Zakaj stojiš daleč stran, oh Gospod? Zakaj se skrivaš v časih stiske?
Wherefore, O Lord, standest thou afar off? hidest thyself in times of distress?
2 Zlobni v svojem ponosu preganjajo revnega. Naj se ujamejo v naklepe, ki so si jih domislili.
In the pride of the wicked doth he hotly pursue the poor: they are seized through the plans that those have devised.
3 Kajti zlobni se baha z željo svojega srca in blagoslavlja pohlepnega, ki ga Gospod prezira.
For the wicked boasteth of the longing of his soul, and the robber blesseth himself when he hath despised the Lord.
4 Zlobni zaradi ponosa svojega obličja ne bo povpraševal po Bogu. V vseh njegovih mislih ni Boga.
The wicked, according to the pride of his wrathfulness, [saith, ] He will not require, There is no God [in] all his plans.
5 Njegove poti so vedno boleče, tvoje sodbe so daleč zgoraj izven njegovega pogleda. Glede na vse njegove sovražnike on puha nanje.
Prosperous are his ways at all times; far in the height [remain] thy punishments away from him: all his assailants—he puffeth at them.
6 V svojem srcu je rekel: »Ne bom omajan, kajti nikoli ne bom v nadlogi.«
He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; I shall be for many generations, and without adversity.
7 Njegova usta so polna preklinjanj, prevare in sleparstva. Pod njegovim jezikom je vragolija in prazne reči.
Of the false oaths is his mouth full, and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
8 Sedi v skrivališčih vasi. Na skrivnih krajih mori nedolžnega. Njegove oči so na skrivaj naravnane zoper revnega.
He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes search for the unfortunate.
9 Na skrivnem preži kakor lev v svojem brlogu. Leži na preži, da ujame revnega. Revnega ujame, ko ga vleče v svojo mrežo.
He lieth in wait in a secret place like a lion in his den; he lieth in wait to snatch up the poor: he snatcheth up the poor, as they draweth him into his net.
10 Klečeplazi in se ponižuje, da lahko revni pade po njegovih močnih.
He croucheth, he bendeth himself, and the unfortunate fall through his might.
11 V svojem srcu je rekel: »Bog je pozabil. Skriva svoj obraz, tega nikoli ne bo videl.«
He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; he hath hidden his face; he will never see it.
12 Vstani, oh Gospod, oh Bog, dvigni svojo roko. Ne pozabi ponižnega.
Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted.
13 Zakaj zlobni zaničuje Boga? V svojem srcu je rekel: »Ti tega ne boš zahteval.«
For what doth the wicked despise God? [why] doth he say in his heart, Thou wilt not require it?
14 To si videl, kajti gledaš vragolijo in zlobnost, da to poplačaš s svojo roko. Revni se ti izroča, pomočnik si osirotelemu.
Thou hast seen it: for thou beholdest mischief and despiteful acts, to requite it with thy hand: unto thee the unfortunate committeth himself; unto the fatherless hast thou [ever] been a helper.
15 Zlomi laket zlobnemu in zlemu človeku. Preiskuj njegovo zlobnost, dokler je ne najdeš več.
Break thou the arm of the wicked; and of the bad man—thou wilt inquire for his wickedness [till] thou find none.
16 Gospod je Kralj na veke vekov. Pogani so izginili iz njegove dežele.
The Lord is King for ever and ever: nations are perished out of his land.
17 Gospod, slišal si hrepenenje ponižnih. Pripravil boš njihovo srce, svojemu ušesu boš povzročil, da sliši,
The longing of the afflicted dost thou hear, O Lord! thou wilt strengthen their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to listen:
18 da razsodiš osirotelega in zatiranega, da človek iz zemlje ne more več zatirati.
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that not farther more shall be arrogant the mortal from the earth.
