Psalm 10
|
|
| 10:1
Why standest thou afar
off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? |
"Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?"
Does God help in times of need?
|
| 10:2
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the
devices that they have imagined. |
|
| 10:3
For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous,
whom the LORD abhorreth. |
|
| 10:4
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God:
God is not in all his thoughts. |
|
| 10:5
His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his
sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. |
|
| 10:6
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in
adversity. |
|
| 10:7
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is
mischief and vanity. |
|
| 10:8
He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places
doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. |
|
| 10:9
He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch
the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. |
|
| 10:10
He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong
ones. |
|
| 10:11
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will
never see it. |
|
| 10:12
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. |
|
| 10:13
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou
wilt not require it. |
|
| 10:14
Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it
with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of
the fatherless. |
|
| 10:15
Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness
till thou find none. |
|
| 10:16
The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his
land. |
|
| 10:17
LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their
heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: |
|
| 10:18
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may
no more oppress.
