psalms 10

1 - Why do you stand far off, The LORD?Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

2 - In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak.They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

3 - For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings.He blesses the greedy, and condemns The LORD.

4 - The wicked, in the pride of his face,has no room in his thoughts for God.

5 - His ways are prosperous at all times.He is haughty, and your laws are far from his sight.As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.

6 - He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken.For generations I shall have no trouble."

7 - His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression.Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

8 - He lies in wait near the villages.From ambushes, he murders the innocent.His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.

9 - He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush.He lies in wait to catch the helpless.He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.

10 - The helpless are crushed.They collapse.They fall under his strength.

11 - He says in his heart, "God has forgotten.He hides his face.He will never see it."

12 - Arise, The LORD!God, lift up your hand!Don't forget the helpless.

13 - Why does the wicked person condemn God,and say in his heart, "God won't call me into account?"

14 - But you do see trouble and grief.You consider it to take it into your hand.You help the victim and the fatherless.

15 - Break the arm of the wicked.As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.

16 - The LORD is King forever and ever!The nations will perish out of his land.

17 - The LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble.You will prepare their heart.You will cause your ear to hear,

18 - to judge the fatherless and the oppressed,that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
