A Prayer for the Overthrow of the Wicked. |
|
|
 |
| Psalm 10:1 |
|
Why do You stand afar off, O LORD? Why do You
hide Yourself in times of trouble? |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 10:2 |
|
In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 10:3 |
|
For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire,
And the greedy man curses and spurns the LORD. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 10:4 |
|
The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance,
does not seek Him. All his thoughts are, "There is no God." |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 10:5 |
|
His ways prosper at all times; Your judgments
are on high, out of his sight; As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 10:6 |
|
He says to himself, "I will not be moved; Throughout
all generations I will not be in adversity." |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 10:7 |
|
His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 10:8 |
|
He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the hiding places he kills the innocent; His eyes stealthily watch for the
unfortunate. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 10:9 |
|
He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his
lair; He lurks to catch the afflicted; He catches the afflicted when he draws
him into his net. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 10:10 |
|
He crouches, he bows down, And the unfortunate
fall by his mighty ones. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 10:11 |
|
He says to himself, "God has forgotten; He has
hidden His face; He will never see it." |
|
|
|
| Psalm 10:12 |
|
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Your hand. Do
not forget the afflicted. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 10:13 |
|
Why has the wicked spurned God? He has said
to himself, "You will not require it." |
|
|
|
| Psalm 10:14 |
|
You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief
and vexation to take it into Your hand. The unfortunate commits himself to You;
You have been the helper of the orphan. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 10:15 |
|
Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,
Seek out his wickedness until You find none. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 10:16 |
|
The LORD is King forever and ever; Nations have
perished from His land. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 10:17 |
|
O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear |
|
|
|
| Psalm 10:18 |
|
To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, So
that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror. |
