תהילים 10
| למה יהוה תעמד ברחוק תעלים לעתות בצרה׃ | 1 |
So then, why, O Lord, have you withdrawn far away? Why have you overlooked us in opportunity, in tribulation?
| בגאות רשע ידלק עני יתפשו במזמות זו חשבו׃ | 2 |
While the impious is arrogant, the poor is enflamed. They are held by the counsels that they devise.
| כי הלל רשע על תאות נפשו ובצע ברך נאץ יהוה׃ | 3 |
For the sinner is praised by the desires of his soul, and the iniquitous is blessed.
| רשע כגבה אפו בל ידרש אין אלהים כל מזמותיו׃ | 4 |
The sinner has provoked the Lord; according to the multitude of his wrath, he will not seek him.
| יחילו דרכו בכל עת מרום משפטיך מנגדו כל צורריו יפיח בהם׃ | 5 |
God is not before his sight. His ways are stained at all times. Your judgments are removed from his face. He will be master of all his enemies.
| אמר בלבו בל אמוט לדר ודר אשר לא ברע׃ | 6 |
For he has said in his heart, “I will not be disturbed: from generation to generation without evil.”
| אלה פיהו מלא ומרמות ותך תחת לשונו עמל ואון׃ | 7 |
His mouth is full of curses, and bitterness, and deceit. Under his tongue are hardship and sorrow.
| ישב במארב חצרים במסתרים יהרג נקי עיניו לחלכה יצפנו׃ | 8 |
He sits in ambush, with resources in hidden places, so that he may execute the innocent.
| יארב במסתר כאריה בסכה יארב לחטוף עני יחטף עני במשכו ברשתו׃ | 9 |
His eyes catch sight of the poor. He lies in ambush, in hiding like a lion in his den. He lies in ambush, so that he may seize the poor, to seize the poor as he draws him in.
| ודכה ישח ונפל בעצומיו חלכאים׃ | 10 |
With his snare, he will bring him down. He will crouch down and pounce, when he has power over the poor.
| אמר בלבו שכח אל הסתיר פניו בל ראה לנצח׃ | 11 |
For he has said in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has turned away his face, lest he see to the end.”
| קומה יהוה אל נשא ידך אל תשכח עניים׃ | 12 |
O Lord God, rise up. Let your hand be exalted. Do not forget the poor.
| על מה נאץ רשע אלהים אמר בלבו לא תדרש׃ | 13 |
How has the impious one provoked God? For he has said in his heart, “He will not inquire.”
| ראתה כי אתה עמל וכעס תביט לתת בידך עליך יעזב חלכה יתום אתה היית עוזר׃ | 14 |
You do see, for you examine hardship and sorrow, so that you may deliver them into your hands. The poor one has been abandoned to you. You will be a helper to the orphan.
| שבר זרוע רשע ורע תדרוש רשעו בל תמצא׃ | 15 |
Break the arm of the sinner and the malicious. His sin will be sought, and it will not be found.
| יהוה מלך עולם ועד אבדו גוים מארצו׃ | 16 |
The Lord shall reign in eternity, even forever and ever. You will perish the Gentiles from his land.
| תאות ענוים שמעת יהוה תכין לבם תקשיב אזנך׃ | 17 |
The Lord has heeded the desire of the poor. Your ear has listened to the preparation of their heart,
| לשפט יתום ודך בל יוסיף עוד לערץ אנוש מן הארץ׃ | 18 |
so as to judge for the orphan and the humble, so that man may no longer presume to magnify himself upon the earth.
