Psalm 10

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Why do you keep far away, O Lord? why are you not to be seen in times of trouble?

2 The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.

3 For the evil-doer is lifted up because of the purpose of his heart, and he whose mind is fixed on wealth is turned away from the Lord, saying evil against him.

4 The evil-doer in his pride says, God will not make a search. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

5 His ways are ever fixed; your decisions are higher than he may see: as for his haters, they are as nothing to him.

6 He has said in his heart, I will not be moved: through all generations I will never be in trouble.

7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and false words: under his tongue are evil purposes and dark thoughts.

8 He is waiting in the dark places of the towns: in the secret places he puts to death those who have done no wrong: his eyes are secretly turned against the poor.

9 He keeps himself in a secret place like a lion in his hole, waiting to put his hands on the poor man, and pulling him into his net.

10 The upright are crushed and made low, and the feeble are overcome by his strong ones.

11 He says in his heart, God has no memory of me: his face is turned away; he will never see it.

12 Up! O Lord; let your hand be lifted: give thought to the poor.

13 Why has the evil-doer a low opinion of God, saying in his heart, You will not make search for it?

14 You have seen it; for your eyes are on sorrow and grief, to take it into your hand: the poor man puts his faith in you; you have been the helper of the child who has no father.

15 Let the arm of the sinner and the evil-doer be broken; go on searching for his sin till there is no more.

16 The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations are gone from his land.

17 Lord, you have given ear to the prayer of the poor: you will make strong their hearts, you will give them a hearing:

18 To give decision for the child without a father and for the broken-hearted, so that the man of the earth may no longer be feared.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 0 Why standest Thou afar off, Hashem? Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of tzoros?

2 The reshah in his ga’avah (haughtiness) doth persecute the ani (poor, see Zech 9:9 where ani is Moshiach); let them be caught in the devices that they have schemed.

3 For the reshah boasteth of his ta’avat nefesh (soul’s lust), and blesseth the covetous, whom Hashem abhorreth.

4 The reshah, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after Him; Elohim is not in all his thoughts.

5 His ways are always prosperous; Thy mishpatim are on high, out of his sight; as for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

6 He hath said in his lev, I shall not be shaken; throughout all generations I shall never be in trouble.

7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud; under his leshon (tongue) is trouble and iniquity.

8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages; in the places for ambush doth he murder the naki (innocent); his eyes are secretly set against the poor.

9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den; he lieth in wait to catch the poor; he doth catch the poor when he draweth him into his reshet.

10 He crouches, and stoops, that the poor may fall by his atzum (might).

11 He hath said in his lev, El hath forgotten; He hideth his face; He will never see it.

12 Arise, Hashem; O El, lift up Thine yad; forget not the aniyim.

13 For why doth the reshah renounce Elohim? He hath said in his lev, Thou wilt not call me to account.

14 Thou hast seen it; for Thou beholdest trouble and ka’as (grief), to requite it with Thy yad; the helpless committeth himself unto Thee; Thou art the Ozer (helper) of the yatom (orphan).

15 Break Thou the zero’a of the reshah and the evil man; call to account his wickedness that would not be found out.

16 Hashem is Melech olam va’ed; the Goyim are perished out of His land.

17 Hashem, Thou hast heard the desire of the aniyim; Thou wilt strengthen their lev, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to hear;

18 To judge the yatom (orphan) and the oppressed, that enosh of the earth may no more strike terror.
