Psalms 10
- 1Why do you stand far away, O Lord? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
- 2The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
- 3For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses the greedy, who the Lord hates.
- 4The wicked, through the pride of his face, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
- 5His ways always prosper. Your judgments are far above, out of his sight. As for all his enemies, he snorts at them in scorn.
- 6He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved. For I shall never be in adversity.
- 7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is harm and evil.
- 8He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are secretly set against the poor.
- 9He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
- 10He crouches, and humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
- 11He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face. He will never see it.
- 12Arise, O Lord, O God, lift up your hand: do not forget the humble.
- 13Why does the wicked person despise God? He has said in his heart, You will not require it.
- 14You have seen it, for you see harm and spite, to repay it with your hand: the poor commits himself to you. You are the helper of the orphan.
- 15Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his evil till you find none.
- 16The Lord is King for ever and ever: the nations are perished out of his land.
- 17Lord, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:
- 18To judge the orphan and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
