Psalms 10

1Why standestH5975 thou afar offH7350, O LORDH3068? why hidestH5956 thou thyself in timesH6256 of troubleH6869? 2The wickedH7563 in his prideH1346 doth persecuteH1814 the poorH6041: let them be takenH8610 in the devicesH4209 thatH2098 they have imaginedH2803.1 3For the wickedH7563 boastethH1984 of his heart’sH5315 desireH8378, and blessethH1288 the covetousH1214, whom the LORDH3068 abhorrethH5006.23 4The wickedH7563, through the prideH1363 of his countenanceH639, will not seekH1875 after God : GodH430 is not in all his thoughtsH4209.4 5His waysH1870 are alwaysH6256 grievousH2342; thy judgmentsH4941 are far aboveH4791 out of his sight: as for all his enemiesH6887, he puffethH6315 at them. 6He hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, I shall not be movedH4131: for I shall neverH1755 be in adversityH7451.5 7His mouthH6310 is fullH4390 of cursingH423 and deceitH4820 and fraudH8496: under his tongueH3956 is mischiefH5999 and vanityH205.67 8He sittethH3427 in the lurking placesH3993 of the villagesH2691: in the secret placesH4565 doth he murderH2026 the innocentH5355: his eyesH5869 are secretly setH6845 against the poorH2489.8 9He lieth in waitH693 secretlyH4565 as a lionH738 in his denH5520: he lieth in waitH693 to catchH2414 the poorH6041: he doth catchH2414 the poorH6041, when he drawethH4900 him into his netH7568.9 10He crouchethH1794, and humblethH7817 himself, that the poorH2489 may fallH5307 by his strong onesH6099.1011 11He hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, GodH410 hath forgottenH7911: he hidethH5641 his faceH6440; he will neverH5331 seeH7200 it .

12AriseH6965, O LORDH3068; O GodH410, lift upH5375 thy handH3027: forgetH7911 not the humbleH6035H6041.12 13Why doth the wickedH7563 despiseH5006 GodH430? he hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, Thou wilt not requireH1875 it . 14Thou hast seenH7200 it ; for thou beholdestH5027 mischiefH5999 and spiteH3708, to repayH5414 it with thy handH3027: the poorH2489 committethH5800 himself to thee; thou art the helperH5826 of the fatherlessH3490.13 15BreakH7665 thou the armH2220 of the wickedH7563 and the evilH7451 man : seek outH1875 his wickednessH7562 till thou shalt findH4672 noneH1077. 16The LORDH3068 is KingH4428 for everH5769 and everH5703: the heathenH1471 have perishedH6 out of his landH776. 17LORDH3068, thou hast heardH8085 the desireH8378 of the humbleH6035: thou wilt prepareH3559 their heartH3820, thou wilt cause thy earH241 to hearH7181:14 18To judgeH8199 the fatherlessH3490 and the oppressedH1790, that the manH582 of the earthH776 may no moreH3254 oppressH6206.15
