10:1
Why are you so far away, O LORD? Why do you hide yourself when we are in
trouble?
10:2
The wicked are proud and persecute the poor; catch them in the traps they have
made.
10:3
The wicked are proud of their evil desires; the greedy curse and reject the
LORD.
10:4
The wicked do not care about the LORD; in their pride they think that God
doesn't matter.
10:5
The wicked succeed in everything. They cannot understand God's judgments; they
sneer at their enemies.
10:6
They say to themselves, "We will never fail; we will never be in
trouble."
10:7
Their speech is filled with curses, lies, and threats; they are quick to speak
hateful, evil words.
10:8
They hide themselves in the villages, waiting to murder innocent people. They
spy on their helpless victims;
10:9
they wait in their hiding place like lions. They lie in wait for the poor; they
catch them in their traps and drag them away.
10:10
The helpless victims lie crushed; brute strength has defeated them.
10:11
The wicked say to themselves, "God doesn't care!
He has closed his eyes and will never see me!"
10:12
O LORD, punish those wicked people! Remember those who are suffering!
10:13
How can the wicked despise God and say to themselves,
"He will not punish me"?
10:14
But you do see; you take notice of trouble and suffering and are always ready
to help. The helpless commit themselves to you; you
have always helped the needy.
10:15
Break the power of wicked and evil people; punish them for the wrong they have
done until they do it no more.
10:16
The LORD is king forever and ever. Those who worship other gods will vanish
from his land.
10:17
You will listen, O LORD, to the prayers of the lowly; you will give them
courage.
10:18
You will hear the cries of the oppressed and the orphans; you will judge in
their favor, so that mortal men may cause terror no
more.
