Psalms 10

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Why, O Yahweh, do you stand far off? [Why] do you hide during times of distress?

2 In arrogance [the] wicked persecutes [the] poor. Let them be caught in [the] schemes that they devised,

3 for [the] wicked boasts about the desire of his {heart}, and [the] one greedy for gain curses [and] treats Yahweh with contempt.

4 {With bald-faced pride} [the] wicked will not seek [God]. There is no God in any of his thoughts.

5 His ways endure at all times. Your judgments are aloof from him. [As for] all his enemies, he scoffs at them.

6 He says in his heart, "I shall not be moved {throughout all generations}, [during] which [I will have] no trouble."

7 His mouth is filled with cursing, with deceits and oppression; under his tongue are trouble and evil.

8 He sits in ambush in villages; in the hiding places he kills [the] innocent. His eyes {lurk} for [the] helpless.

9 He lies in ambush {secretly,} like a lion in a thicket. He lies in ambush to seize [the] poor; he seizes [the] poor by catching him in his net.

10 He is crushed; he is bowed down; so the helpless host falls by his {might}.

11 He says in his heart, "God has forgotten. He has hidden his face. He never sees."

12 Rise up, O Yahweh; O God, lift up your hand. Do not forget [the] afflicted.

13 Why does the wicked treat God with contempt? He says in his heart, "You will not call [me] to account."

14 [But] you have seen; indeed you have noted trouble and grief to take [it] into your hand. The helpless abandons [himself] upon you; you have been [the] helper [for the] orphan.

15 Break [the] arm of [the] wicked, and [as for the] evil [man]-- seek out his wickedness [until] you find none.

16 Yahweh [is] king forever and ever; the nations have perished from his land.

17 [The] longing of [the] afflicted you have heard, O Yahweh. You will make their heart secure. You will {listen attentively}

18 to render judgment [for the] fatherless and [the] oppressed [so that] a [mere] mortal from the earth will no longer cause terror.

New International Version NIV

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

2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.

3 He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.

4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.

5 His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies.

6 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.” He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”

7 His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.

8 He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims;

9 like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.

10 His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength.

11 He says to himself, “God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.”

12 Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.

13 Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, “He won’t call me to account”?

14 But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.

15 Break the arm of the wicked man; call the evildoer to account for his wickedness that would not otherwise be found out.

16 The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.

17 You, LORD, hear the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,

18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed, so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.
