Psalm 10
ISV Parallel BSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionBerean Study Bible
1 Why do you stand far away, LORD? Why do you hide in times of distress?1Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2The wicked one arrogantly pursues the afflicted, who are trapped in the schemes he devises.2In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
3For the wicked one boasts about his own desire; he blesses the greedy and despises the LORD.3For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4With haughty arrogance, the wicked thinks, "God will not seek justice." He always presumes "There is no God."4In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
5Their ways always seem prosperous. Your judgments are on high, far away from them. They scoff at all their enemies.5He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
6They say to themselves, "We will not be moved throughout all time, and we will not experience adversity."6He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
7Their mouth is full of curses, lies, and oppression, their tongues spread trouble and iniquity.7His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
8They wait in ambush in the villages, they kill the innocent in secret.8He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
9Their eyes secretly watch the helpless, lying in wait like a lion in his den. They lie in wait to catch the afflicted. They catch the afflicted when they pull him into their net.9He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
10The victim is crushed, and he sinks down; the helpless fall by their might.10They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
11The wicked say to themselves, "God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it."11He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
12Rise up, LORD! Raise your hand, God. Don't forget the afflicted!12Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
13Why do the wicked despise God and say to themselves, "God will not seek justice."? 13Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
14But you do see! You take note of trouble and grief in order to take the matter into your own hand. The helpless one commits himself to you; you have been the orphan's helper.14But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
15Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; so that when you seek out his wickedness you will find it no more.15Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
16The LORD is king forever and ever; nations will perish from his land.16The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
17LORD, you heard the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen them, you will listen carefully,17You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
18to do justice for the orphan and the oppressed, so that men of the earth may cause terror no more.18to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
