Psalms 10

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 Why standest Thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of trouble?

2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor; let them be caught in the devices that they have contrived.

3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous whom the LORD abhorreth.

4 The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God; God is not in all his thoughts.

5 His ways are always grievous; Thy judgments are far above, out of his sight; as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

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

7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud; under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages; in secret places doth he murder the innocent; his eyes are privily 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 net.

10 He croucheth and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

11 He hath said in his heart, "God hath forgotten; He hideth His face, He will never see it."

12 Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up Thine hand! Forget not the humble.

13 Why doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, "Thou wilt not keep account."

14 But Thou hast seen it, for Thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with Thy hand. The poor committeth himself unto Thee; Thou art the helper of the fatherless.

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

16 The LORD is King for ever and ever; the heathen have perished out of His land.

17 LORD, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble; Thou wilt prepare their heart, Thou wilt cause Thine ear to hear,

18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

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.
