Psalms 10:1-11

1Why 1do You standH5975 farH7350 awayH7350, LordH3068? Why 2do You hideH5956 3Yourself in timesH6256 of troubleH6869?2In 4arroganceH1346 the wickedH7563 hotlyH1814 pursueH310H1814 the needyH6041; 5Let them be 6caughtH8610 in the plotsH4209 whichH2098 they have devisedH2803.

3For the wickedH7563 7boastsH1984 of his 8soul’sH5315 desireH8378, And 9the greedyH1214 personH1214 cursesH1288 and 10showsH5006 disrespectH5006 to the LordH3068.4The wickedH7563, 11in his haughtinessH1363H639, 12does not seekH1875 Him. 13ThereH369 isH369 noH369 GodH430 in allH3605 his schemesH4209.

5His waysH1870 14succeedH2342 at allH3605 timesH6256; Yet Your judgmentsH4941 are on highH4791, 15out of his sightH5048; As for allH3605 his enemiesH6887, he snortsH6315 at them.6He saysH559 to himselfH3820, “16I will not be movedH4131; 17Throughout the generationsH1755 18I will not be in adversityH7451.”7His 19mouthH6310 is fullH4390 of cursingH423, deceitH4820, and 20oppressionH8496; 21UnderH8478 his tongueH3956 is harmH5999 and injusticeH205.8He sitsH3427 in the 22lurkingH3993 placesH3993 of the villagesH2691; He 23killsH2026 the innocentH5355 in the secretH4565 placesH4565; His eyesH5869 24surreptitiouslyH6845 watchH6845 for the 2526unfortunateH2489.9He lurksH693 in secretH4565 like 27a lionH743 in his 28lairH5520; He 29lurksH693 to catchH2414 30the needyH6041; He catchesH2414 the needyH6041 when he pullsH4900 him into his 31netH7568.10Then he crushesH1794 the needy one, who cowersH7817; And 32unfortunateH2489 peopleH2489 fallH5307 by his mightyH6099 power.11He 33saysH559 to himselfH3820, “GodH410 has forgottenH7911; He has hiddenH5641 His faceH6440; He will neverH1077H5331 seeH7200 it.”
