Psalms 10

1Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

לָמָה יְהוָה תַּעֲמֹד בְּרָחֹוק תַּעְלִים לְעִתֹּות בַּצָּרָה׃ (2684)

2The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

בְּגַאֲוַת רָשָׁע יִדְלַק עָנִי יִתָּפְשׂוּ ׀ בִּמְזִמֹּות זוּ חָשָׁבוּ׃ (2876)

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

כִּי־הִלֵּל רָשָׁע עַל־תַּאֲוַת נַפְשֹׁו וּבֹצֵעַ בֵּרֵךְ נִאֵץ ׀ יְהוָה׃ (2565)

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

רָשָׁע כְּגֹבַהּ אַפֹּו בַּל־יִדְרֹשׁ אֵין אֱלֹהִים כָּל־מְזִמֹּותָיו׃ (1939)

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

יָחִילוּ [דָרְכּו כ] (דְרָכָיו ׀ ק) בְּכָל־עֵת מָרֹום מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ מִנֶּגְדֹּו כָּל־צֹורְרָיו יָפִיחַ בָּהֶם׃ (2741)

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

אָמַר בְּלִבֹּו בַּל־אֶמֹּוט לְדֹר וָדֹר אֲשֶׁר לֹא־בְרָע׃ (1617)

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

אָלָה פִּיהוּ מָלֵא וּמִרְמֹות וָתֹךְ תַּחַת לְשֹׁונֹו עָמָל וָאָוֶן׃ (2729)

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 poor.

יֵשֵׁב ׀ בְּמַאְרַב חֲצֵרִים בַּמִּסְתָּרִים יַהֲרֹג נָקִי עֵינָיו לְחֵלְכָה יִצְפֹּנוּ׃ (2510)

9He 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.

יֶאֱרֹב בַּמִּסְתָּר ׀ כְּאַרְיֵה בְסֻכֹּה יֶאֱרֹב לַחֲטֹוף עָנִי יַחְטֹף עָנִי בְּמָשְׁכֹו בְרִשְׁתֹּו׃ (3227)

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

[וַדָּכַה כ] (יִדְכֶּה ק) יָשֹׁחַ וְנָפַל בַּעֲצוּמָיו [חֶלְכָּאִים כ] (חֵיל ק) (כָּאִים׃ ק) (1350)

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

אָמַר בְּלִבֹּו שָׁכַח אֵל הִסְתִּיר פָּנָיו בַּל־רָאָה לָנֶצַח׃ (1877)

12Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

קוּמָה יְהוָה אֵל נְשָׂא יָדֶךָ אַל־תִּשְׁכַּח [עֲנִיִּים כ] (עֲנָוִים׃ ק) (1828)

13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

עַל־מֶה ׀ נִאֵץ רָשָׁע ׀ אֱלֹהִים אָמַר בְּלִבֹּו לֹא תִּדְרֹשׁ׃ (2158)

14Thou 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.

רָאִתָה כִּי־אַתָּה ׀ עָמָל וָכַעַס ׀ תַּבִּיט לָתֵת בְּיָדֶךָ עָלֶיךָ יַעֲזֹב חֵלֶכָה יָתֹום אַתָּה ׀ הָיִיתָ עֹוזֵר׃ (4477)

15Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

בֹר זְרֹועַ רָשָׁע וָרָע תִּדְרֹושׁ־רִשְׁעֹו בַל־תִּמְצָא׃ (3380)

16The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

יְהוָה מֶלֶךְ עֹולָם וָעֶד אָבְדוּ גֹויִם מֵאַרְצֹו׃ (751)

17LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

תַּאֲוַת עֲנָוִים שָׁמַעְתָּ יְהוָה תָּכִין לִבָּם תַּקְשִׁיב אָזְנֶךָ׃ (3261)

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

לִשְׁפֹּט יָתֹום וָדָךְ בַּל־יֹוסִיף עֹוד לַעֲרֹץ אֱנֹושׁ מִן־הָאָרֶץ׃ (2316)
