Psalms 10

[ ]

& Why do You stand afar off, O LORD? Why do You hide {Yourself} in times of trouble?

& In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted; Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

& For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, And (Or {blesses the greedy man}) the greedy man curses {and} spurns the LORD.

& The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek {Him.} All his thoughts are, "There is no God."

& His ways prosper at all times; Your judgments are on high, out of his sight; As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.

& He says to himself, "I will not be moved; Throughout all generations I will not be in adversity."

& His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.

& He sits in the lurking places of the villages; In the hiding places he kills the innocent; His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate.

& He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his lair; He lurks to catch the afflicted; He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net.

& He crouches, he bows down, And the unfortunate fall (Or {into his claws}) by his mighty ones.

& He says to himself, "God has forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never see it."

& Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Your hand. Do not forget the afflicted.

& Why has the wicked spurned God? He has said to himself, "You will not require {it.}"

& You have seen {it,} for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand. The unfortunate commits {himself} to You; You have been the helper of the orphan.

& Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer, Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

& The LORD is King forever and ever; Nations have perished from His land.

& O LORD, You have heard the desire of the (Or {afflicted}) humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear

& To (Lit {judge}) vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror.
