Psalm 10
English translation got from website: https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo
- O Lord, why do You stand from afar? [Why do] You hide in times of distress?
- With the haughtiness of the wicked man, he pursues the poor man. They are caught in the plots that they have devised.
- For the wicked man boasts about the desire of his soul, and the robber congratulates himself for having blasphemed the Lord.
- A wicked man at the height of his anger; « He will not seek; there is no God, » [say] all his thoughts.
- His ways prosper at all times; Your judgments are far removed from him. All his adversaries-he blows at them.
- He says to himself, « I will not fall; for all generations I will not be in adversity. »
- His mouth is full of oaths and deceits and guile; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
- He sits in the lurking-places of the villages; in hidden places he slays the innocent; his eyes spy on Your army.
- He lurks in a hidden place; like a lion in his den, he lurks to seize a poor man; he seizes a poor man when he draws his net.
- He crouches, he bows down, and an army of broken people shall fall by his signals.
- He says in his heart, « God has forgotten; He has hidden His face, He never sees. »
- Arise, O Lord God, lift up Your hand; do not forget the humble.
- Why did a wicked man blaspheme God? He said in his heart that You do not seek.
- You saw, for You look at mischief and provocation to give with Your power; upon You Your army leaves [its burden]; You would help the orphan.
- Break the arm of the wicked, but as for the evil one-You will seek his wickedness and not find [it].
- The Lord is King forever and ever; nations perish from His land.
- You shall hear the desire of the humble, O Lord; may You prepare their heart, may Your ear hearken.
- To judge the orphan and the crushed one, that he no longer continue to break the weak from the earth.
