Psalm 10

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Why are you so distant, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

2 The wicked person arrogantly pursues oppressed people. He will be caught in the schemes that he planned.

3 The wicked person boasts about his selfish desires. He blesses robbers, but he curses the LORD.

4 He turns up his nose [and says], "God doesn't care." His every thought [concludes], "There is no God."

5 He always seems to succeed. Your judgments are beyond his understanding. He spits at all his opponents.

6 He says to himself, "Nothing can shake me. I'll never face any trouble."

7 His mouth is full of cursing, deception, and oppression. Trouble and wrongdoing are on the tip of his tongue.

8 He waits in ambush in the villages. From his hiding places he kills innocent people. His eyes are on the lookout for victims.

9 He lies in his hiding place like a lion in his den. He hides there to catch oppressed people. He catches oppressed people when he draws them into his net.

10 [His] victims are crushed. They collapse, and they fall under [the weight of] his power.

11 He says to himself, "God has forgotten. He has hidden his face. He will never see it!"

12 Arise, O LORD! Lift your hand, O God. Do not forget oppressed people!

13 Why does the wicked person despise God? Why does he say to himself, "God doesn't care"?

14 You have seen [it]; yes, you have taken note of trouble and grief and placed them under your control. The victim entrusts himself to you. You alone have been the helper of orphans.

15 Break the arm of the wicked and evil person. Punish his wickedness until you find no more.

16 The LORD is king forever and ever. The nations have vanished from his land.

17 You have heard the desire of oppressed people, O LORD. You encourage them. You pay close attention to them

18 in order to provide justice for orphans and oppressed people so that no mere mortal will terrify them again.

New King James Version NKJV

1 Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide in times of trouble?

2 The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor; Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire; He blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.

4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.

5 His ways are always prospering; Your judgments are far above, out of his sight; As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

6 He has said in his heart, "I shall not be moved; I shall never be in adversity."

7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.

8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages; In the secret places he murders the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.

9 He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den; He lies in wait to catch the poor; He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.

10 So he crouches, he lies low, That the helpless may fall by his strength.

11 He has said in his heart, "God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will never see."

12 Arise, O Lord! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble.

13 Why do the wicked renounce God? He has said in his heart, "You will not require an account."

14 But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief, To repay it by Your hand. The helpless commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.

15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man; Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

16 The Lord is King forever and ever; The nations have perished out of His land.

17 Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear,

18 To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more.
