Psalms 10

1 Why? O Yahweh do you stand at a distance do you hide? to times of trouble.

Why standest Thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of trouble?

2 In [the] pride of [the] wicked he hotly pursues [the] afflicted they are caught - by schemes which they have planned.

Through the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued, they are taken in the devices that they have imagined.

3 For he boasts a wicked [person] on [the] desire of self his and [one] greedy for unjust gain he blesses he spurns - Yahweh.

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and the covetous vaunteth himself, though he contemn the LORD.

4 A wicked [person] according to [the] haughtiness of nose his not he seeks [are] there not [is] a god all thoughts his.

The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith: 'He will not require'; all his thoughts are: 'There is no God.'

5 They endure (ways his *Qk) at every time [are] height judgments your from before him all opposers his he breathes out at them.

His ways prosper at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

6 He says in heart his not I will be shaken to a generation and a generation who not in distress.

He saith in his heart: 'I shall not be moved, I who to all generations shall not be in adversity.'

7 A curse mouth his it is full and deceit and oppression [are] under tongue his mischief and wickedness.

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

8 He sits - in an ambush of villages in hiding places he kills [the] innocent eyes his for an unfortunate person they lie hidden.

He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in secret places doth he slay the innocent; his eyes are on the watch for the helpless.

9 He lies in wait in hiding place - like a lion in lair its he lies in wait to seize [the] afflicted he seizes [the] afflicted when drags [him] away he in net his.

He lieth in wait in a secret place as a lion in his lair, he lieth in wait to catch the poor; he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him up in his net.

10 (He is crushed *QK) he is bowed down and he falls among mighty [ones] his (an army of disheartened [people]. *QK)

He croucheth, he boweth down, and the helpless fall into his mighty claws.

11 He says in heart his he has forgotten God he has hidden face his not he sees to perpetuity.

He hath said in his heart: 'God hath forgotten; He hideth His face; He will never see.'

12 Arise! O Yahweh O God lift up hand your may not you forget (humble [people]. *QK)

Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Thy hand; forget not the humble.

13 Concerning what? - has he spurned [the] wicked - God has he said? in heart his not you will seek.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, and say in his heart: 'Thou wilt not require'?

14 You have seen that you - mischief and vexation - you pay attention to put in hand your on you he abandons an unfortunate person [the] fatherless you - you are a helper.

Thou hast seen; for Thou beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite them with Thy hand; unto Thee the helpless committeth himself; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

15 Break [the] arm of [the] wicked and [the] evil you will seek wickedness his not you will find.

Break Thou the arm of the wicked; and as for the evil man, search out his wickedness, till none be found.

16 Yahweh [is] king forever and ever they have perished [the] nations from land his.

The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations are perished out of His land.

17 [the] desire of Humble [people] you have heard O Yahweh you establish heart their you cause to pay attention ear your.

LORD, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble: Thou wilt direct their heart, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to attend;

18 To vindicate [the] fatherless and [the] oppressed not he will repeat again to terrify humankind from the earth.

To right the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may be terrible no more.
