Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? 10:2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak; They are caught in the schemes that they devise. 10:3 For the wicked boasts of his heart`s cravings, He blesses the greedy, and condemns Yahweh. 10:4 The wicked, in the pride of his face, Has no room in his thoughts for God. 10:5 His ways are prosperous at all times; He is haughty, and your laws are far from his sight: As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them. 10:6 He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken; For generations I shall have no trouble." 10:7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity. 10:8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless. 10:9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net. 10:10 The helpless are crushed, they collapse, They fall under his strength. 10:11 He says in his heart, "God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it." 10:12 Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don`t forget the helpless. 10:13 Why does the wicked condemn God, And say in his heart, "God won`t call me into account?" 10:14 But you do see trouble and grief; You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless. 10:15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none. 10:16 Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land. 10:17 Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear, 10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may terrify no more. Psalm 11 For the Chief Musician. By David.
