Salmos 10
1 ¿Por qué estás lejos, Jehová? ¿ por qué te escondes en los tiempos de la angustia?
Why do you stand far off, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 Con arrogancia el malo persigue al pobre; sean tomados en los pensamientos que pensaron.
In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
3 Por cuanto se alabó el malo del deseo de su alma: y diciendo bien del robador, blasfema de Jehová.
For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns the LORD.
4 El malo por la altivez de su rostro no busca a Dios: no hay Dios en todos sus pensamientos.
The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
5 Sus caminos atormentan en todo tiempo: altura son tus juicios delante de él: en todos sus enemigos resopla.
His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
6 Dice en su corazón: No seré movido de generación a generación, porque no fui en mal.
He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
7 De maldición hinchió su boca, y de engaños y fraude: debajo de su lengua molestia y maldad.
His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
8 Está en las asechanzas de las aldeas; en los escondrijos mata al inocente: sus ojos están mirando por el pobre.
He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
9 Asecha de encubierto, como el león desde su cama: asecha para arrebatar al pobre: arrebata al pobre trayéndole en su red.
He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.
10 Encógese, abájase, y cae en sus fuerzas multitud de afligidos.
The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
11 Dice en su corazón: Dios está olvidado, ha encubierto su rostro, nunca lo vio.
He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”
12 Levántate, o! Jehová Dios, alza tu mano: no te olvides de los pobres.
Arise, LORD! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.
13 ¿Por qué ensaña el malo a Dios? dijo en su corazón: No inquirirás.
Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
14 Tú has visto: porque tú miras el trabajo, y el enojo, para dar en tus manos: a ti se remite el pobre; al huérfano tú fuiste ayudador.
But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
15 Quebranta el brazo del depravado y del maligno: buscarás su maldad, y no la hallarás.
Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
16 Jehová, Rey eterno y perpetuo; de su tierra fueron destruidas las gentes.
The LORD is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.
17 El deseo de los humildes oíste, o! Jehová: tú dispones su corazón, y haces atento tu oído:
LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
18 Para juzgar al huérfano y al pobre; no volverá más a quebrantar el hombre de la tierra.
to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
