Psa.|10:1|-||1|Why, O Jehovah, do You stand |a|far off?Why do You hide Yourself in times of distress?
Psa.|10:2|-|Arrogantly the wicked hotly pursue the poor—May they be caught in the plots that they devise!
Psa.|10:3|-|For the wicked man boasts of the desire of his soul,And the rapacious man curses, even despises, Jehovah.
Psa.|10:4|-|The wicked man, according to the haughtiness of his countenance,Says, He will not require it;
All his thoughts are this: |a|There is no God!
Psa.|10:5|-|His ways succeed at all times;Your judgments are on high, out of his sight;
As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.
Psa.|10:6|-|He has said in his heart, I will not be shaken;I will be in no trouble |1|forever.
Psa.|10:7|-|His |a|mouth is full of curses and of deceit and oppression;Under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.
Psa.|10:8|-|He sits in the ambushes of the open villages;In hidden places he murders the innocent;
His eyes secretly watch for the unfortunate.
Psa.|10:9|-|He lurks in secret like a lion in its covert;He lurks ready to seize the poor;
He seizes the poor, drawing them up in his net.
Psa.|10:10|-|He stoops, he crouches,And the unfortunate fall by his mighty claws.
Psa.|10:11|-|He has said in his heart, God has forgotten;He has hidden His face; He will never |a|see this.
Psa.|10:12|-|Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up Your hand.Do not forget the poor.
Psa.|10:13|-|Why does the wicked man despise GodAnd say in his heart, You will not require it?
Psa.|10:14|-|You do see! For You observe mischief and vexation,To requite it with Your own hand.
To You the unfortunate one |a|commits his cause;You have been the help of the orphan.
Psa.|10:15|-|Break the arm of the wicked man and the evil doer;Seek out his wickedness until You find no more.
Psa.|10:16|-|Jehovah is |a|King forever and ever;The nations have perished from His land.
Psa.|10:17|-|You have heard the desire of the lowly, O Jehovah;You will establish their heart; You will cause Your ears to listen,
Psa.|10:18|-|In order to execute justice for the orphan and the oppressed one,That the mortal man of the earth may terrorize no longer.
