Psalm 10 (WEBP)

[1] Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
[2] In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
[3] For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.
[4] The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
[5] His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
[6] He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
[7] His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
[8] He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
[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] The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
[11] He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”
[12] Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.
[13] Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
[14] But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
[15] Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
[16] Yahweh is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.
[17] Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
[18] to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

Psalm 10 (BYZ)

[1] [9:22] ινα τι κυριε αφεστηκας μακροθεν υπερορας εν ευκαιριαις εν θλιψει
[2] [9:23] εν τω υπερηφανευεσθαι τον ασεβη εμπυριζεται ο πτωχος συλλαμβανονται εν διαβουλιοις οις διαλογιζονται
[3] [9:24] οτι επαινειται ο αμαρτωλος εν ταις επιθυμιαις της ψυχης αυτου και ο αδικων ενευλογειται
[4] [9:25] παρωξυνεν τον κυριον ο αμαρτωλος κατα το πληθος της οργης αυτου ουκ εκζητησει ουκ εστιν ο θεος ενωπιον αυτου
[5] [9:26] βεβηλουνται αι οδοι αυτου εν παντι καιρω ανταναιρειται τα κριματα σου απο προσωπου αυτου παντων των εχθρων αυτου κατακυριευσει
[6] [9:27] ειπεν γαρ εν καρδια αυτου ου μη σαλευθω απο γενεας εις γενεαν ανευ κακου
[7] [9:28] ου αρας το στομα αυτου γεμει και πικριας και δολου υπο την γλωσσαν αυτου κοπος και πονος
[8] [9:29] εγκαθηται ενεδρα μετα πλουσιων εν αποκρυφοις αποκτειναι αθωον οι οφθαλμοι αυτου εις τον πενητα αποβλεπουσιν
[9] [9:30] ενεδρευει εν αποκρυφω ως λεων εν τη μανδρα αυτου ενεδρευει του αρπασαι πτωχον αρπασαι πτωχον εν τω ελκυσαι αυτον
[10] [9:31] εν τη παγιδι αυτου ταπεινωσει αυτον κυψει και πεσειται εν τω αυτον κατακυριευσαι των πενητων
[11] [9:32] ειπεν γαρ εν καρδια αυτου επιλελησται ο θεος απεστρεψεν το προσωπον αυτου του μη βλεπειν εις τελος
[12] [9:33] αναστηθι κυριε ο θεος υψωθητω η χειρ σου μη επιλαθη των πενητων
[13] [9:34] ενεκεν τινος παρωξυνεν ο ασεβης τον θεον ειπεν γαρ εν καρδια αυτου ουκ εκζητησει
[14] [9:35] βλεπεις οτι συ πονον και θυμον κατανοεις του παραδουναι αυτους εις χειρας σου σοι ουν εγκαταλελειπται ο πτωχος ορφανω συ ησθα βοηθων
[15] [9:36] συντριψον τον βραχιονα του αμαρτωλου και πονηρου ζητηθησεται η αμαρτια αυτου και ου μη ευρεθη δι αυτην
[16] [9:37] βασιλευσει κυριος εις τον αιωνα και εις τον αιωνα του αιωνος απολεισθε εθνη εκ της γης αυτου
[17] [9:38] την επιθυμιαν των πενητων εισηκουσεν κυριος την ετοιμασιαν της καρδιας αυτων προσεσχεν το ους σου
[18] [9:39] κριναι ορφανω και ταπεινω ινα μη προσθη ετι του μεγαλαυχειν ανθρωπος επι της γης
