Psalms 10

¹Why, YHWH, do You stand at a distance? Do You hide in times of adversity?

²Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in schemes that they devised.

³Because the wicked has boasted Of the desire of his soul, And he has blessed a dishonest gainer, He has despised YHWH.

⁴The wicked does not inquire according to the height of his face. “There is no God!” are all his schemes.

⁵His ways writhe at all times, Your judgments are on high before him, All his adversaries—he puffs at them.

⁶He has said in his heart, “I am not moved, And am not in calamity to generation and generation.”

⁷His mouth is full of oaths, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue is perverseness and iniquity,

⁸He sits in an ambush of the villages, He slays the innocent in secret places. His eyes secretly watch for the afflicted,

⁹He lies in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lies in wait to catch the poor, He catches the poor, drawing him into his net.

¹⁰He is bruised—he bows down, The afflicted has fallen by his mighty ones.

¹¹He said in his heart, “God has forgotten, He has hid His face, He has never seen.”

¹²Arise, O YHWH! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble.

¹³Why has the wicked despised God? He has said in his heart, “It is not required.”

¹⁴You have seen, For You behold perverseness and anger; By giving into Your hand, The afflicted leave it on You, You have been a helper of the fatherless.

¹⁵Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;

¹⁶YHWH is King for all time and forever, The nations have perished out of His land!

¹⁷You have heard the desire of the humble, O YHWH. You prepare their heart; You cause Your ear to attend,

¹⁸To judge the fatherless and bruised: He adds no more to oppress—man of the earth!
