Psa 10 | EngLXX | STEP | Why stand you afar off, O Lord? why do you overlook us in times of need, in affliction?

Psalms 10

1 Why stand you afar off, O Lord?why do you overlookus in times of need, in affliction?
2 While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued:the wicked are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
3 Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjustone blesses himself.
4 The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he willnot seek afterhim: God is not before him.
5 His ways are profane at all times; your judgments are removed from before him:he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
6 For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved,continuing without evil from generation to generation.
7 Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue aretrouble and pain.
8 He lies in wait with richmen in secret places, in order to kill the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
9 He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor,to ravish the poor when he draws himafter him: he will bring him down in his snare.
10 He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
11 For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face soas never to look.
12 Arise, O Lord God; let your hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
13 Wherefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He willnot requireit.
14 You seeit; for you do observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into your hands: the poor has beenleft to you; you were a helper to the orphan.
15 Break you the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, andshall not be found.
16 The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: you⌃ Gentiles shall perishout his land.
17 The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: your ear has inclined to the preparationof their heart;
18 to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
