Psalmorum 10
1 ut quid Domine recessisti longe dispicis in oportunitatibus in tribulatione
Why stand you afar off, O LORD? why hide you yourself in times of trouble?
2 dum superbit impius incenditur pauper conprehenduntur in consiliis quibus cogitant
The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 quoniam laudatur peccator in desideriis animae suae et iniquus benedicitur
For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors.
4 exacerbavit Dominum peccator secundum multitudinem irae suae non quaeret
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5 non est Deus in conspectu eius inquinatae sunt viae illius in omni tempore auferuntur iudicia tua a facie eius omnium inimicorum suorum dominabitur
His ways are always grievous; your judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffs at them.
6 dixit enim in corde suo non movebor a generatione in generationem sine malo
He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 cuius maledictione os plenum est et amaritudine et dolo sub lingua eius labor et dolor
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8 sedet in insidiis cum divitibus in occultis ut interficiat innocentem
He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privately set against the poor.
9 oculi eius in pauperem respiciunt insidiatur in abscondito quasi leo in spelunca sua insidiatur ut rapiat pauperem rapere pauperem dum adtrahit eum
He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
10 in laqueo suo humiliabit eum inclinabit se et cadet cum dominatus fuerit pauperum
He crouches, and humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 dixit enim in corde suo oblitus est Deus avertit faciem suam ne videat in finem
He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face; he will never see it.
12 exsurge Domine Deus exaltetur manus tua ne obliviscaris pauperum
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.
13 propter quid inritavit impius Deum dixit enim in corde suo non requiret
Why does the wicked scorn God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it.
14 vides quoniam tu laborem et dolorem consideras ut tradas eos in manus tuas tibi derelictus est pauper orfano tu eras adiutor
You have seen it; for you behold mischief and spite, to requite it with your hand: the poor commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 contere brachium peccatoris et maligni quaeretur peccatum illius et non invenietur
Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till you find none.
16 Dominus regnabit in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi peribitis gentes de terra illius
The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17 desiderium pauperum exaudivit Dominus praeparationem cordis eorum audivit auris tua
LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:
18 iudicare pupillo et humili ut non adponat ultra magnificare se homo super terram
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
