10:1  Why, Lord Jehovah, do you stand at a distance, and have withdrawn your gaze in times of trouble?
10:2  In the wicked man's pride he consumes the poor; they will be caught in the mind set which they have contrived.
10:3  Because the wicked boasts in the lusts of his soul, the evil one is blessed and Lord Jehovah is angry.
10:4  And the wicked in his pride does not make inquiry and there is no God in all his thoughts.
10:5  And his ways are dissolute always, and your judgment enters against him, and he despises all his enemies.
10:6  He has said in his heart, “I shall not move for a generation of generations”; he thinks upon evil.
10:7  And a curse fills his mouth, fraud and deceit are under his tongue, evil and depravity.
10:8  He sits in ambush in a dwelling and in a secret place he murders the righteous; his eyes gaze upon the afflicted one.
10:9  And he lies in wait to plunder the poor in the snare of his net.
10:10  He will be humbled and fall and in his bones is sickness and pain.
10:11  He said in his heart, “God forgets and turns his face and will never see.”
10:12  Arise, Lord Jehovah, my God, and lift your hand and do not forget the afflicted one.
10:13  Why does the sinner anger God and say his heart, “You will not require it?”
10:14  You see that there is evil and wrath and behold, he will be given over into your hands; the afflicted one will be left to you, and you are the helper of the orphan.
10:15  Shatter the arm of the sinner and of the evil; you shall seek his sin and it shall not be found.
10:16  Lord Jehovah is King to the eternity of eternities; the Gentiles are destroyed from his land.
10:17  You have heard the hope of the poor, Lord Jehovah, and your ear has heard the preparation of their heart,
10:18  To judge the orphan and The Evil One, that he may not add again to destroy the children of men from the Earth.
