Psalms Chapter 10 (ESV)
undefined
Why, O LORD, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
undefined
In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.
undefined
For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the LORD.
undefined
In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
undefined
His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them.
undefined
He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.”
undefined
His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.
undefined
He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
undefined
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.
undefined
The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might.
undefined
He says in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”
undefined
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted.
undefined
Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”?
undefined
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.
undefined
Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till you find none.
undefined
The LORD is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land.
undefined
O LORD, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear
undefined
to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.
