Psalms Chapter 10
|
|||
|
|
1 Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
|
|||
|
|
2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
|
|||
|
|
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.
|
|||
|
|
4 The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
|
|||
|
|
5 His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
|
|||
|
|
6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
|
|||
|
|
7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
|
|||
|
|
8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
|
|||
|
|
9 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 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
|
|||
|
|
11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”
|
|||
|
|
12 Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.
|
|||
|
|
13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
|
|||
|
|
14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
|
|||
|
|
15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
|
|||
|
|
16 Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.
|
|||
|
|
17 Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
|
|||
|
|
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
