Salmos 10
1 ¿POR qué estás lejos, oh Jehová, y te escondes en el tiempo de la tribulación?
Why do you stand far off, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 Con arrogancia el malo persigue al pobre: serán cogidos en los artificios que han ideado.
In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
3 Por cuanto se alaba el malo del deseo de su alma, y bendice al codicioso, [á quien] Jehová aborrece.
For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings, and he blesses the greedy, scorning the LORD.
4 El malo, por la altivez de su rostro, no busca [á Dios]: no hay Dios [en] todos sus pensamientos.
The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek. All his thoughts are "There is no God."
5 Sus caminos son viciosos en todo tiempo: tus juicios [los tiene] muy lejos de su vista: echa bocanadas en [orden á] todos sus enemigos.
His ways are firm at all times. Your judgments are turned aside. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
6 Dice en su corazón: No seré movido en ningún tiempo, ni jamás [me alcanzará] el infortunio.
He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken. From generation to generation I shall not experience calamity."
7 Llena está su boca de maldición, y de engaños y fraude: debajo de su lengua, vejación y maldad.
His mouth is full of cursing and bitterness and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
8 Está en las guaridas de las aldeas: en los escondrijos mata al inocente: sus ojos están acechando al pobre.
He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
9 Acecha en oculto, como el león desde su cama: acecha para arrebatar al pobre: arrebata al pobre trayéndolo á su red.
He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.
10 Encógese, agáchase, y caen en sus fuerzas muchos desdichados.
The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
11 Dice en su corazón: Dios está olvidado, ha encubierto su rostro; nunca lo verá.
He says in his heart, "God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it."
12 Levántate, oh Jehová Dios, alza tu mano, no te olvides de los pobres.
Arise, LORD. God, lift up your hand. Do not forget the helpless.
13 ¿Por qué irrita el malo á Dios? En su corazón ha dicho que no [lo] inquirirás.
Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "You will not seek (an accounting)."
14 Tú [lo] tienes visto: porque tú miras el trabajo, y la vejación, para vengar[le] por tu mano: á ti se acoge el pobre, tú eres el amparo del huérfano.
But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
15 Quebranta el brazo del malo: del maligno buscarás su maldad, hasta que ninguna halles.
Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
16 Jehová, Rey eterno y perpetuo; de su tierra fueron destruídas las gentes.
The LORD is King forever and ever. The nations have perished from his land.
17 El deseo de los humildes oíste, oh Jehová: tú dispones su corazón, y haces atento tu oído;
LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
18 Para juzgar al huérfano y al pobre, á fin de que no vuelva más á hacer violencia el hombre de la tierra.
to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
