KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 10
David complains to Jehovah of the outrage of the wicked. He prays for remedy.
1Why do You stand far away, O Jehovah? Will You hide in times of distress?
2The wicked one in his pride will pursue the afflicted one; they will be caught in the schemes which they have devised.
3For the wicked one boasts of his soul's desire, and he has blessed the covetous; scorning Jehovah.
4Through pride of his face, the wicked one will not seek; there is no God in all of his schemes.
5His ways are perverted at all times. Your judgments are high from his sight; as for all distressing him, he puffs at them.
6He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved! From generation to generation never in evil.
7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and vanity.
8He dwells in the dens of the villages; in the secret places he murders the innocent one; his eyes watch against the poor one.
9He lies in wait secretly like a lion in his den; he lies in ambush to catch the poor one; he seizes the humble ones drawing him into his net;
10and being crushed, he bows; yea, the poor ones have fallen by his mighty ones.
11He has said in his heart, God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will not see forever.
12Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up your hand; do not forget the lowly ones.
13Upon what does the wicked one despise God? He has said in his heart, You will not demand it.
14You have seen, for You take note of mischief and provocation, to give back with Your hand. The poor one leaves himself to You; You are the helper of the orphan.
15Break the arm of the wicked and evil one; search out his wickedness until You find none.
16Jehovah is King forever and ever; the nations are perished out of His land.
17O Jehovah, You have heard the desire of the humble one; You will fix their heart; Your ear will hear.
18Judge the orphan and the crushed one No more shall the man of the earth continue to terrify.
