| # Chapter 10
| Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,
| Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.
| Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.
| The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. 'God is not!' [are] all his devices.
| Pain do his ways at all times, On high [are] Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries -- he puffeth at them.
| He hath said in his heart, 'I am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil.
| Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
| He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,
| He lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
| He is bruised -- he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.
| He said in his heart, 'God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'
| Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.
| Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in his heart, 'It is not required.'
| Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave [it], Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.
| Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;
| Jehovah [is] king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!
| The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,
| To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress -- man of the earth!
