Psalm 10

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.

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (9-22) Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?

2 (9-23) Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.

3 (9-24) For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.

4 (9-25) The sinner hath provoked the Lord, according to the multitude of his wrath, he will not seek him:

5 (9-26) God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed form his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.

6 (9-27) For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.

7 (9-28) His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.

8 (9-29) He sitteth in ambush with the rich, in private places, that he may kill the innocent.

9 (9-30) His eyes are upon the poor man: he lieth in wait, in secret, like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush, that he may catch the poor man: so catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.

10 (9-31) In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.

11 (9-32) For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, not to see to the end.

12 (9-33) Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.

13 (9-34) Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.

14 (9-35) Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.

15 (9-36) Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.

16 (9-37) The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.

17 (9-38) The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.

18 (9-39) To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.
