POD - Psalm 10
August 4th, 2008 — davegrobertsPsalm 10
- 10:1 Why do you stand far off, Yahweh?
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 person 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.
