Psalms 10

1WhyH4100, O LORDH3068, do You standH5975 far offH7350? Why do You hideH5956 in timesH6256 of troubleH6869?2In prideH1346 the wickedH7563 pursueH1814 the needyH6041; let them be caughtH8610 in the schemesH4209H2098 they deviseH2803.

3ForH3588 the wicked manH7563 boastsH1984 inH5921 the cravingsH8378 of his heartH5315;he blessesH1288 the greedyH1214 and revilesH5006 the LORDH3068.4In his prideH1363H639 the wickedH7563 man does notH1077 seekH1875 Him;in allH3605 his schemesH4209 there is noH369 GodH430.5He is secureH2342 in his waysH1870 at all timesH3605H6256;Your loftyH4791 judgmentsH4941 are far from himH5048;he sneersH6315 at allH3605 his foesH6887.6He saysH559 to himselfH3820, “I will notH1077 be movedH4131;from ageH1755 to ageH1755 I am freeH3808 of distressH7451.”
7His mouthH6310 is full ofH4390 cursingH423, deceitH4820,1 and violenceH8496;troubleH5999 and maliceH205 are underH8478 his tongueH3956.8He liesH3427 in waitH3993 near the villagesH2691;in ambushH4565 he slaysH2026 the innocentH5355;his eyesH5869 watch in stealthH6845 for the helplessH2489.9He lies in waitH693H4565 like a lionH738 in a thicketH5520;he lurksH693 to seizeH2414 the oppressedH6041;he catchesH2414 the lowlyH6041 in his netH4900H7568.10They are crushedH1794 and beaten downH7817;2the helplessH2489 fall preyH5307 to his strengthH6099.11He saysH559 to himselfH3820, “GodH410 has forgottenH7911;He hidesH5641 His faceH6440 and neverH1077H5331 seesH7200.”
12AriseH6965, O LORDH3068! Lift upH5375 Your handH3027, O GodH410!Do notH408 forgetH7911 the helplessH6041.13WhyH5921H4100 has the wicked manH7563 renouncedH5006 GodH430?He saysH559 to himselfH3820, “You will neverH3808 call me to accountH1875.”14ButH3588 YouH859 have regardedH7200 troubleH5999 and griefH3708;You seeH5027 to repayH5414 it by Your handH3027.The victimH2489 entrusts himselfH5800 to YouH5921;YouH859 areH1961 the helperH5826 of the fatherlessH3490.15BreakH7665 the armH2220 of the wickedH7563 and evildoerH7451;call him to accountH1875 for his wickednessH7562until none is leftH1077 to be foundH4672.
16The LORDH3068 is KingH4428 foreverH5769 and everH5703;the nationsH1471 perishH6 from His landH776.17You have heardH8085, O LORDH3068, the desireH8378 of the humbleH6035;You will strengthenH3559 their heartsH3820.You will inclineH7181 Your earH241,18to vindicateH8199 the fatherlessH3490 and oppressedH1790,that the menH582 ofH4480 the earthH776may strike terrorH6206 no moreH1077H3254H5750.
