NASB77 Psalms 10 Chapter
10:1
Why dost Thou stand afar off, O LORD? Why dost Thou hide [Thyself] in times of trouble?
10:2
In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted; Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
10:3
For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, And the greedy man curses [and] spurns the LORD.
10:4
The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek [Him]. All his thoughts are, "There is no God."
10:5
His ways prosper at all times; Thy judgments are on high, out of his sight; As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.
10:6
He says to himself, "I shall not be moved; Throughout all generations I shall not be in adversity."
10:7
His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
10:8
He sits in the lurking places of the villages; In the hiding places he kills the innocent; His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate.
10:9
He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his lair; He lurks to catch the afflicted; He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net.
10:10
He crouches, he bows down, And the unfortunate fall by his mighty ones.
10:11
He says to himself, "God has forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never see it."
10:12
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Thy hand. Do not forget the afflicted.
10:13
Why has the wicked spurned God? He has said to himself, "Thou wilt not require [it]."
10:14
Thou hast seen [it], for Thou hast beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Thy hand. The unfortunate commits [himself] to Thee; Thou hast been the helper of the orphan.
10:15
Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer, Seek out his wickedness until Thou dost find none.
10:16
The LORD is King forever and ever; Nations have perished from His land.
10:17
O LORD, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble; Thou wilt strengthen their heart, Thou wilt incline Thine ear
10:18
To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may cause terror no more.
