Psalms 10

Why Do You Hide Yourself?

Why, O Lord, do you stand far away?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

A Song of Confidence in God’s Triumph over Evil

Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide in times of trouble?

In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor;
let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.

The wicked in his pride [a]persecutes the poor;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul,
and the one greedy for gain cursesa and renounces the Lord.

For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire;
[b]He blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.

In the pride of his faceb the wicked does not seek him;c
all his thoughts are, “There is no God.”

The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
[c]God is in none of his thoughts.

His ways prosper at all times;
your judgments are on high, out of his sight;
as for all his foes, he puffs at them.

His ways [d]are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.”

He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
I shall never be in adversity.”

His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression;
under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.

He sits in ambush in the villages;
in hiding places he murders the innocent.
His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;

He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.

he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket;
he lurks that he may seize the poor;
he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.

He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.

The helpless are crushed, sink down,
and fall by his might.

So [e]he crouches, he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by his [f]strength.

He says in his heart, “God has forgotten,
he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”

He has said in his heart,
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”

Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
forget not the afflicted.

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

Why does the wicked renounce God
and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”?

Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an account.”

But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation,
that you may take it into your hands;
to you the helpless commits himself;
you have been the helper of the fatherless.

But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless commits[g] himself to You;
You are the helper of the fatherless.

Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer;
call his wickedness to account till you find none.

Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;
Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

The Lord is king forever and ever;
the nations perish from his land.

The Lord is King forever and ever;
The nations have perished out of His land.

O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted;
you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear

Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will prepare their heart;
You will cause Your ear to hear,

to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,
so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.

To [h]do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,
That the man of the earth may [i]oppress no more.
