Psalms 10
1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
Zakaj stojiš daleč stran, oh Gospod? Zakaj se skrivaš v časih stiske?
2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
Zlobni v svojem ponosu preganjajo revnega. Naj se ujamejo v naklepe, ki so si jih domislili.
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
Kajti zlobni se baha z željo svojega srca in blagoslavlja pohlepnega, ki ga Gospod prezira.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
Zlobni zaradi ponosa svojega obličja ne bo povpraševal po Bogu. V vseh njegovih mislih ni Boga.
5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
Njegove poti so vedno boleče, tvoje sodbe so daleč zgoraj izven njegovega pogleda. Glede na vse njegove sovražnike on puha nanje.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
V svojem srcu je rekel: »Ne bom omajan, kajti nikoli ne bom v nadlogi.«
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
Njegova usta so polna preklinjanj, prevare in sleparstva. Pod njegovim jezikom je vragolija in prazne reči.
8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are secretly set against the poor.
Sedi v skrivališčih vasi. Na skrivnih krajih mori nedolžnega. Njegove oči so na skrivaj naravnane zoper revnega.
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
Na skrivnem preži kakor lev v svojem brlogu. Leži na preži, da ujame revnega. Revnega ujame, ko ga vleče v svojo mrežo.
10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
Klečeplazi in se ponižuje, da lahko revni pade po njegovih močnih.
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
V svojem srcu je rekel: »Bog je pozabil. Skriva svoj obraz, tega nikoli ne bo videl.«
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the humble.
Vstani, oh Gospod, oh Bog, dvigni svojo roko. Ne pozabi ponižnega.
13 Why doth the wicked despise God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
Zakaj zlobni zaničuje Boga? V svojem srcu je rekel: »Ti tega ne boš zahteval.«
14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to repay it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself to thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
To si videl, kajti gledaš vragolijo in zlobnost, da to poplačaš s svojo roko. Revni se ti izroča, pomočnik si osirotelemu.
15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou shalt find none.
Zlomi laket zlobnemu in zlemu človeku. Preiskuj njegovo zlobnost, dokler je ne najdeš več.
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen have perished out of his land.
Gospod je Kralj na veke vekov. Pogani so izginili iz njegove dežele.
17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to hear:
Gospod, slišal si hrepenenje ponižnih. Pripravil boš njihovo srce, svojemu ušesu boš povzročil, da sliši,
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
da razsodiš osirotelega in zatiranega, da človek iz zemlje ne more več zatirati.
