Salmos 10
1 ¿Por qué te alejas, oh Señor? ¿Por qué te escondes en tiempos de angustia?
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 El malhechor en su orgullo es cruel con los pobres; pero ha de quedar atrapado por los trucos de su invención.
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 el malvado se enaltece por los deseos de su corazón, y aquel cuya mente se fija en las riquezas es apartado del Señor, y desprecia al Señor.
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 El malhechor en su orgullo dice: Dios no hará cuentas.” No hay Dios.” eso es todo lo que piensa.
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 son torcidos en todo tiempo; tus juicios están lejos, muy lejos de su vista. en cuanto a sus enemigos, no son nada para él.
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 Dijo en su corazón: No seré conmovido; nunca seré angustiado en todas las generaciones.
They think, “Nothing bad will happen to us! We will never have troubles!”
7 Su boca está llena de maldiciones, engaños y palabras falsas: debajo de su lengua hay propósitos malvados y pensamientos oscuros.
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 Está esperando en los lugares oscuros de las ciudades: en los lugares secretos, mata a los que no han hecho nada malo: no pierde de vista al indefenso.
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 Se guarda en un lugar secreto como un león en su agujero, esperando poner sus garras sobre el pobre hombre y cuando lo atrapa lo arrastra en 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 agacha, se encoge y caen en sus garras los indefensos.
Just like helpless animals are crushed, people who cannot defend themselves are killed because wicked people are very strong.
11 Él dice en su corazón: Dios no tiene memoria de mí; su rostro se ha apartado; él nunca lo verá.
Wicked people say, “God will not pay any attention [to what we do]. His eyes are covered, so he never sees anything.”
12 ¡Levántate! Oh Señor Dios; deja que tu mano se levante: no te olvides de los afligidos.
Yahweh God, arise [and help us] Punish [IDM] those wicked people! And do not forget those who are suffering!
13 ¿Por qué tiene el malhechor una baja opinión de Dios, diciendo en su corazón: Tu No le pedirás cuentas?
Wicked people revile you [RHQ] continually. They think, “God will never punish us!”
14 Tú lo has has visto; porque tu miras el trabajo y la vejación, para dar la recompensa con tu mano; el pobre pone su fe en ti; tu eres el amparo del niño 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 Que se rompa el brazo del pecador y del malhechor; continúa buscando su pecado hasta que no haya más.
(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 El Señor es Rey por los siglos de los siglos; las naciones se han ido de su tierra.
Yahweh, you are our king forever, but [wicked] nations will disappear from the earth.
17 Señor, tú has escuchado la oración de los humildes; fortalecerás sus corazones, les darás 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 decisiones para el niño sin padre y para el corazón quebrantado, para que el hombre de la tierra ya no vuelva a hacer violencia.
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.
