Psalm 10
10
ל Lamed
1Why standest thou afar off, O LORD?
Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
2The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor:
Let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
(מ Mem)
3For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire,
And blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
(נ Nun)
4The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God:
God is not in all his thoughts.
5His ways are always grievous; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight:
As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved:
For I shall never be in adversity.
(ס Samek)
פ Pe
7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud:
Under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages:
ע Ain
In the secret places doth he murder the innocent: His eyes are privily set against the poor.
9He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den:
He lieth in wait to catch the poor:
(צ Zade)
He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10He croucheth, and humbleth himself,
That the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten:
He hideth his face; he will never see it.
ק Qoph
12Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand:
Forget not the humble.
13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God?
He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
ר Resh
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.
ש Shin
15Break thou the arm of the wicked
And the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
16The LORD is King for ever and ever:
The heathen are perished out of his land.
ת Taw
17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble:
Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18To judge the fatherless and the oppressed,
That the man of the earth may no more oppress.
