Psalm 10 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Det stolte menneske

1 Hvorfor er du så langt væk, Herre, når jeg har allermest brug for dig? 2 De gudløse undertrykker frækt de svage, fanger dem med listige intriger. 3 De praler af deres onde planer, roser de grådige, men håner Herren. 4 De er stolte og regner ikke med Gud. De mener, han slet ikke eksisterer. 5 De ser ud til at klare sig godt. De ænser ikke straffen, der venter dem. De blæser på deres modstandere. 6 „Intet kan slå os ud,” siger de. „Vi klarer alle problemer.” 7 De har munden fuld af forbandelser, løgn og trusler, deres ord skaber altid ødelæggelse. 8 De ligger på lur i mørket og myrder de uskyldige, de venter altid på et hjælpeløst bytte. 9 Som løver kryber de sammen, klar til spring, venter på at kaste sig over de svage. Som jægere fanger de deres ofre i fælden og slæber dem bort i deres net. 10 De svage overmandes og segner, falder under de gudløses magt. 11 „Gud opdager det ikke,” siger de onde, „han vil aldrig få noget at vide.” 12 Grib ind, Herre! Løft din hånd og slå dem ned. Glem ikke de svage og undertrykte. 13 Skal de onde have lov at håne dig og sige: „Han vil ikke kræve os til regnskab.”? 14 Herre, du ser hver eneste ond handling. Du ser det og straffer dem. De nødstedte regner med dig, Gud, for du er den, der hjælper de svage. 15 Sæt en stopper for de ondes adfærd, drag dem til ansvar for alle deres forbrydelser. 16 Herre, du er konge for evigt og altid. De gudløse skal ikke bo i dit land. 17 Herre, du ved, hvad de undertrykte længes efter. Du hører deres suk og trøster dem. 18 Du forsvarer de sårbare og svage, så ingen skal terrorisere dem længere.

Why Do You Hide Yourself?

1 Why, O Lord, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? 2 In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. 3 For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses* and renounces the Lord. 4 In the pride of his face* the wicked does not seek him;* all his thoughts are, “There is no God.” 5 His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them. 6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.” 7 His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity. 8 He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless; 9 he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net. 10 The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might. 11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.” 12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted. 13 Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”? 14 But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into your hands; to you the helpless commits himself; you have been the helper of the fatherless. 15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till you find none. 16 The Lord is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land. 17 O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear 18 to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.
