Psalms 10
1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
耶和華啊，你為甚麼站在遠處？ 在患難的時候為甚麼隱藏？
2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
惡人在驕橫中把困苦人追得火急； 願他們陷在自己所設的計謀裏。
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
因為惡人以心願自誇； 貪財的背棄耶和華，並且輕慢他。
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
惡人面帶驕傲，說：耶和華必不追究； 他一切所想的都以為沒有上帝。
5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
凡他所做的，時常穩固； 你的審判超過他的眼界。 至於他一切的敵人， 他都向他們噴氣。
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
他心裏說：我必不動搖， 世世代代不遭災難。
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
他滿口是咒罵、詭詐、欺壓， 舌底是毒害、奸惡。
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.
他在村莊埋伏等候； 他在隱密處殺害無辜的人。 他的眼睛窺探無倚無靠的人；
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.
他埋伏在暗地，如獅子蹲在洞中。 他埋伏，要擄去困苦人； 他拉網，就把困苦人擄去。
10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
他屈身蹲伏， 無倚無靠的人就倒在他爪牙 之下。
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
他心裏說：上帝竟忘記了； 他掩面永不觀看。
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the humble.
耶和華啊，求你起來！ 上帝啊，求你舉手，不要忘記困苦人！
13 Why doth the wicked despise God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
惡人為何輕慢上帝， 心裏說：你必不追究？
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.
其實你已經觀看； 因為奸惡毒害，你都看見了， 為要以手施行報應。 無倚無靠的人把自己交託你； 你向來是幫助孤兒的。
15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou shalt find none.
願你打斷惡人的膀臂； 至於壞人，願你追究他的惡，直到淨盡。
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen have perished out of his land.
耶和華永永遠遠為王； 外邦人從他的地已經滅絕了。
17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to hear:
耶和華啊，謙卑人的心願， 你早已知道。 你必預備他們的心， 也必側耳聽他們的祈求，
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
為要給孤兒和受欺壓的人伸冤， 使強橫的人不再威嚇他們。
