PSALMS 诗篇010

PSALM¹ 10
1Why, O Lord , do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2In his arrogance² the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3He boasts of the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles⁴ the Lord .
4In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
5His ways are always prosperous; he is haughty⁵ and your laws are far from him; he sneers⁶ at all his enemies.
6He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me; I'll always be happy and never have trouble."
7His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.
8He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush⁷ he murders the innocent, watching in secret for his victims.
9He lies in wait like a lion in cover; he lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
10His victims are crushed, they collapse⁸; they fall under his strength.
11He says to himself, "God has forgotten; he covers his face and never sees."
12Arise, Lord ! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.
13Why does the wicked man revile³ God? Why does he say to himself, "He won't call me to account"?
14But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; call him to account for his wickedness that would not be found out.
16The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.
17You hear, O Lord , the desire of the afflicted⁹; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
18defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.
