Psalm 10 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

1Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah?

Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

2In the pride of the wicked

⁎

Or, he doth hotly pursue the poor

the poor

⁎

Hebrew is set on fire.

is hotly pursued;

⁎

Or, They are taken

Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.

3For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire,

And

⁎

Or, blesseth the covetous, but contemneth etc.

the covetous renounceth, yea,

⁎

Or, revileth

contemneth Jehovah.

4The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith, He will not require it.

All his thoughts are, There is no God.

5His ways are

⁎

Or, grievous

firm at all times;

Thy judgments are far above out of his sight:

As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

6He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved;

To all generations I shall not be in adversity.

7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and

⁎

Or, fraud

oppression:

Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

8He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages;

In the secret places doth he murder the innocent;

His eyes are privily set against the

⁎

Or, hapless

helpless.

9He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert;

He lieth in wait to catch the poor:

He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.

⁎

Another reading is, And being crushed.

He croucheth, he boweth down,

And the

⁎

Or, hapless

helpless fall by his strong ones.

11He saith in his heart: God hath forgotten;

He hideth his face, he will never see it.

12Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand:

Forget not the

⁎

Or, meek

poor.

13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God,

And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require it?

14Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest

⁎

Or, travail and grief

mischief and spite,

⁎

Or, to take it into thy hand

to requite it with thy hand:

The

⁎

Or, hapless

helpless committeth himself unto thee;

Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

15Break thou the arm of the wicked;

And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

16Jehovah is King for ever and ever:

The

⁎

Or, heathen

nations are perished out of his land.

17Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek:

Thou wilt

⁎

Or, establish

prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;

18To judge the fatherless and the oppressed,

That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more.
