Psalm 10
- 1Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
- 2In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
- 3For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, And the covetous renounceth, [yea], contemneth Jehovah.
- 4The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, [saith], He will not require [it] . All his thoughts are, There is no God.
- 5His ways are firm at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
- 6He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; To all generations I shall not be in adversity.
- 7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression: Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
- 8He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In the secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are privily set against the helpless.
- 9He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.
- 10He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones.
- 11He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it.
- 12Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget not the poor.
- 13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it] ?
- 14Thou hast seen [it] ; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth [himself] unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
- 15Break thou the arm of the wicked; And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
- 16Jehovah is King for ever and ever: The nations are perished out of his land.
- 17Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;
- 18To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more.
