Chapter 10
Psal LEB 10:1  Why, O Yahweh, do you stand far off? Why do you hide during times of distress?
Psal LEB 10:2  In arrogance the wicked persecutes the poor. Let them be caught in the schemes that they devised,
Psal LEB 10:3  for the wicked boasts about the desire of his ⌞heart⌟, and the one greedy for gain curses and treats Yahweh with contempt.
Psal LEB 10:4  ⌞With bald-faced pride⌟ the wicked will not seek God. There is no God in any of his thoughts.
Psal LEB 10:5  His ways endure at all times. Your judgments are aloof from him. As for all his enemies, he scoffs at them.
Psal LEB 10:6  He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved ⌞throughout all generations⌟, during which I will have no trouble.”
Psal LEB 10:7  His mouth is filled with cursing, with deceits and oppression; under his tongue are trouble and evil.
Psal LEB 10:8  He sits in ambush in villages; in the hiding places he kills the innocent. His eyes ⌞lurk⌟ for the helpless.
Psal LEB 10:9  He lies in ambush ⌞secretly,⌟ like a lion in a thicket. He lies in ambush to seize the poor; he seizes the poor by catching him in his net.
Psal LEB 10:10  He is crushed; he is bowed down; so the helpless host falls by his ⌞might⌟.
Psal LEB 10:11  He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He has hidden his face. He never sees.”
Psal LEB 10:12  Rise up, O Yahweh; O God, lift up your hand. Do not forget the afflicted.
Psal LEB 10:13  Why does the wicked treat God with contempt? He says in his heart, “You will not call me to account.”
Psal LEB 10:14  But you have seen; indeed you have noted trouble and grief to take it into your hand. The helpless abandons himself upon you; you have been the helper for the orphan.
Psal LEB 10:15  Break the arm of the wicked, and as for the evil man— seek out his wickedness until you find none.
Psal LEB 10:16  Yahweh is king forever and ever; the nations have perished from his land.
Psal LEB 10:17  The longing of the afflicted you have heard, O Yahweh. You will make their heart secure. You will ⌞listen attentively⌟
Psal LEB 10:18  to render judgment for the fatherless and the oppressed so that a mere mortal from the earth will no longer cause terror.
