Psalms 10:1-11

1Why 1do You standH5975 afarH7350 off, O LordH3068? Why 2do You hideH5956 3Yourself in timesH6256 of troubleH6869?2In 4prideH1346 the wickedH7563 5hotlyH1814 pursueH1814 the afflictedH6041; 6Let them be 7caughtH8610 in the plotsH4209 whichH2098 they have devisedH2803.

3For the wickedH7563 8boastsH1984 of his 9heart’sH5315 desireH8378, And 10the greedyH1214 manH1214 cursesH1288 and 11spurnsH5006 the LordH3068.4The wickedH7563, in the haughtinessH1363 of his countenanceH639, 12does not seekH1875 Him. AllH3605 his 13thoughtsH4209 are, “14ThereH369 is noH369 GodH430.”

5His waysH1870 1516prosperH2342 at allH3605 timesH6256; Your judgmentsH4941 are on highH4791, 17out of his sightH5048; As for allH3605 his adversariesH6887, he snortsH6315 at them.6He saysH559 to himselfH3820, “18I will not be movedH4131; 19Throughout allH1755 generationsH1755 20I will not be in adversityH7451.”7His 21mouthH6310 is fullH4390 of cursesH423 and deceitH4820 and 22oppressionH8496; 23UnderH8478 his tongueH3956 is mischiefH5999 and wickednessH205.8He sitsH3427 in the 24lurkingH3993 placesH3993 of the villagesH2691; In the hidingH4565 placesH4565 he 25killsH2026 the innocentH5355; His eyesH5869 26stealthilyH6845 watchH6845 for the 2728unfortunateH2489.9He lurksH693 in a hidingH4565 placeH4565 as 29a lionH743 in his 30lairH5520; He 31lurksH693 to catchH2414 32the afflictedH6041; He catchesH2414 the afflictedH6041 when he drawsH4900 him into his 33netH7568.10He 34crouchesH1794, he 35bowsH7817 downH7817, And the 36unfortunateH2489 fallH5307 37by his mightyH6099 onesH6099.11He 38saysH559 to himselfH3820, “GodH410 has forgottenH7911; He has hiddenH5641 His faceH6440; He will neverH1077H5331 seeH7200 it.”
