Chapter 10

1


 

  Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?  

 

 

--

2


 

  In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak; They are caught in the schemes that they devise.  

 

 

--

3


 

  For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings, He blesses the greedy, and condemns Yahweh.  

 

 

--

4


 

  The wicked, in the pride of his face, Has no room in his thoughts for God.  

 

 

--

5


 

  His ways are prosperous at all times; He is haughty, and your laws are far from his sight: As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.  

 

 

--

6


 

  He says in his heart, 'I shall not be shaken; For generations I shall have no trouble.'  

 

 

--

7


 

  His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.  

 

 

--

8


 

  He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.  

 

 

--

9


 

  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


 

  The helpless are crushed, they collapse, They fall under his strength.  

 

 

--

11


 

  He says in his heart, 'God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.'  

 

 

--

12


 

  Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don't forget the helpless.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Why does the wicked condemn God, And say in his heart, 'God won't call me into account?'  

 

 

--

14


 

  But you do see trouble and grief; You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.  

 

 

--

17


 

  Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,  

 

 

--

18


 

  To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may terrify no more. Psalm 11 For the Chief Musician. By David.
