Salmos 10
1 ¿Por qué, Yahvé, te estás lejos? ¿Te escondes en el tiempo de la tribulación,
Yahweh, (why are you far away [from us]?/it seems that you are far away [from us].) [RHQ] Why do you not pay attention when we have troubles [RHQ]?
2 mientras se ensoberbece el impío, y el pobre es vejado y preso en los ardides que aquel le urdió?
People who are proud gladly cause poor people to suffer. So [cause what they do to others to happen to them]! May they be caught in the [same] traps that they set to catch others [MET]!
3 Porque he aquí que el inicuo se jacta de sus antojos, el expoliador blasfema despreciando a Yahvé.
They brag about the [evil] things that they want to do. They praise people who seize from others things that do not belong to them, and they curse you, Yahweh.
4 En el orgullo de su mente dice el impío: “Él no tomará venganza; Dios no existe.” Tal es todo su pensamiento.
Wicked people are very proud. As a result, they do not (seek help from/are not concerned about) God; they do not even think that God exists.
5 Sus caminos prosperan en todo tiempo; lejos de su ánimo están tus juicios; menosprecia él a todos sus adversarios.
But [it seems that] they succeed in everything that they do. They do not think that they will be condemned/punished for their deeds, and they (sneer at/make fun of) their enemies.
6 En su corazón dice: “No seré conmovido; de generación en generación estaré al abrigo de la adversidad.”
They think, “Nothing bad will happen to us! We will never have troubles!”
7 Su boca está llena de maldición, de astucia y de violencia; bajo su lengua lleva la maldad y la mentira.
When they talk [MTY], they are always cursing, lying, and threatening to harm others. They constantly say [MTY] evil things that show that they are ready to do cruel things to others.
8 Se pone en acecho junto al poblado, en lo escondido, para matar al inocente. Sus ojos están espiando al pobre;
They hide in villages, ready to (ambush/suddenly attack) and kill people who (are innocent/have done nothing wrong). They constantly search for people who will not be able to (resist/defend themselves) [when they are attacked].
9 insidia en la oscuridad como el león que desde su guarida está asechando al desvalido para atraparlo; lo arrebata y lo atrae a su red;
They are like [MET] lions that crouch down and hide, waiting to pounce on their prey. They are like hunters that catch their prey with a net and then drag it away.
10 se encoge, se agacha hasta el suelo, y el desdichado cae en sus garras.
Just like helpless animals are crushed, people who cannot defend themselves are killed because wicked people are very strong.
11 Dice en su corazón: “Dios está desmemoriado, apartó su rostro, nunca ve nada.”
Wicked people say, “God will not pay any attention [to what we do]. His eyes are covered, so he never sees anything.”
12 Levántate, Yahvé Dios mío, alza tu mano; no quieras olvidarte de los afligidos.
Yahweh God, arise [and help us] Punish [IDM] those wicked people! And do not forget those who are suffering!
13 ¿Cómo es que el impío desprecia a Dios, diciendo en su corazón: “No tomará venganza”?
Wicked people revile you [RHQ] continually. They think, “God will never punish us!”
14 Mas Tú lo estás viendo. Tú consideras el afán y la angustia, para tomarlos en tus manos. A Ti está confiado el pobre; Tú eres el protector del huérfano.
But you see the trouble and the distress [that they cause]. People who are suffering expect that you will help them; and you help orphans, [also].
15 Quebranta Tú el brazo del impío y del maligno; castigarás su malicia y no subsistirá.
(Break the arms/Destroy the power) of wicked [DOU] people! Continue to pursue and punish them for the wicked things that they do, until they stop doing those things.
16 Yahvé es Rey para siglos eternos; los gentiles fueron exterminados de su tierra.
Yahweh, you are our king forever, but [wicked] nations will disappear from the earth.
17 Ya escuchaste, Yahvé, el deseo de los humildes; confirmaste su corazón y prestaste oído,
You have listened to afflicted/suffering people when they cry out to you. You hear them [when they pray], and you encourage [IDM] them.
18 para tomar en tus manos la causa del huérfano y del oprimido, a fin de que nunca más vuelva a infundir pavor el hombre de tierra.
You show that orphans and oppressed people have not done things that are wrong, with the result that human beings will not cause people to be terrified any more.
