  10:1 ¶
Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? [why] dost thou overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction? |
|
10:1 ¶
Whyº
standestºº
thou afar off,º
O Yahweh?º
[why] hidestºº
thou [thyself] in timesº
of trouble?º |
|
10:2
While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine. |
10:2
The wickedº
in [his] prideº
doth persecuteºº
the poor:º
let them be takenºº
in the devicesº
thatº
they have imagined.ºº |
|
10:3
Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself. |
10:3
Forº
the wickedº
boastethºº
ofº
his heart'sº
desire,º
and blessethºº
the covetous,ºº
[whom] Yahwehº
abhorreth.ºº |
|
10:4
The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after [him]: God is not before him. |
10:4
The wicked,º
through the prideº
of his countenance,º
will notº
seekºº
[after Elohim]: Elohimº
[is] notº
in allº
his thoughts.º |
|
10:5
His ways are profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies. |
10:5
His waysº
are alwaysºº
grievous;ºº
thy judgmentsº
[are] far aboveº
out of his sight:ºº
[as for] allº
his enemies,ºº
he puffethºº
at them. |
|
10:6
For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation. |
10:6
He hath saidºº
in his heart,º
I shall notº
be moved:ºº
for [I shall] neverººº
[be] in adversity.º |
|
10:7
Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain. |
10:7
His mouthº
is fullºº
of cursingº
and deceitº
and fraud:º
underº
his tongueº
[is] mischiefº
and vanity.º |
|
10:8
He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor. |
10:8
He sittethºº
in the lurking placesº
of the villages:º
in the secret placesº
doth he murderºº
the innocent:º
his eyesº
are privily setºº
against the poor.º |
|
10:9
He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him [after him]: he will bring him down in his snare. |
10:9
He lieth in waitºº
secretlyº
as a lionº
in his den:º
he lieth in waitºº
to catchºº
the poor:º
he doth catchºº
the poor,º
when he drawethºº
him into his net.º |
|
10:10
He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor. |
10:10
He croucheth,ºº
[and] humblethºº
himself, that the poorºººº
may fallºº
by his strong ones.º |
|
10:11
For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look. |
10:11
He hath saidºº
in his heart,º
Elº
hath forgotten:ºº
he hidethºº
his face;º
he will neverºº
seeºº
[it]. |
|
10:12
Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor. |
10:12
Arise,ºº
O Yahweh;º
O El,º
lift upºº
thine hand:º
forgetºº
notº
the humble.ººº |
|
10:13
Wherefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it]. |
10:13
Whereforeºº
doth the wickedº
contemnºº
Elohim?º
he hath saidºº
in his heart,º
Thou wilt notº
requireºº
[it]. |
|
10:14
Thou seest [it]; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan. |
10:14
Thou hast seenºº
[it]; forº
thouº
beholdestºº
mischiefº
and spite,º
to requiteºº
[it] with thy hand:º
the poorº
committethºº
himself untoº
thee; thouº
artº
the helperºº
of the fatherless.º |
|
10:15
Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found. |
10:15
Breakºº
thou the armº
of the wickedº
and the evilº
[man]: seek outºº
his wickednessº
[till] thou findºº
none.º |
|
10:16
The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish out his land. |
10:16
Yahwehº
[is] Kingº
for everº
and ever:º
the heathenº
are perishedºº
out of his land.ºº |
|
10:17
The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: thine ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart; |
10:17
Yahweh,º
thou hast heardºº
the desireº
of the humble:º
thou wilt prepareºº
their heart,º
thou wilt cause thine earº
to hear:ºº |
|
10:18
to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth. |
10:18
To judgeºº
the fatherlessº
and the oppressed,º
that the manº
ofº
the earthº
may noº
moreººº
oppress.ºº |
