Psalm 10 | English Standard Version

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.

Louis Segond 1910
1 Pourquoi, ô Éternel! te tiens-tu éloigné? Pourquoi te caches-tu au temps de la détresse? 2 Le méchant dans son orgueil poursuit les malheureux, Ils sont victimes des trames qu'il a conçues. 3 Car le méchant se glorifie de sa convoitise, Et le ravisseur outrage, méprise l'Éternel. 4 Le méchant dit avec arrogance: Il ne punit pas! Il n'y a point de Dieu! -Voilà toutes ses pensées. 5 Ses voies réussissent en tout temps; Tes jugements sont trop élevés pour l'atteindre, Il souffle contre tous ses adversaires. 6 Il dit en son coeur: Je ne chancelle pas, Je suis pour toujours à l'abri du malheur! 7 Sa bouche est pleine de malédictions, de tromperies et de fraudes; Il y a sous sa langue de la malice et de l'iniquité. 8 Il se tient en embuscade près des villages, Il assassine l'innocent dans des lieux écartés; Ses yeux épient le malheureux. 9 Il est aux aguets dans sa retraite, comme le lion dans sa tanière, Il est aux aguets pour surprendre le malheureux; Il le surprend et l'attire dans son filet. 10 Il se courbe, il se baisse, Et les misérables tombent dans ses griffes. 11 Il dit en son coeur: Dieu oublie! Il cache sa face, il ne regarde jamais! 12 Lève-toi, Éternel! ô Dieu, lève ta main! N'oublie pas les malheureux! 13 Pourquoi le méchant méprise-t-il Dieu? Pourquoi dit-il en son coeur: Tu ne punis pas? 14 Tu regardes cependant, car tu vois la peine et la souffrance, Pour prendre en main leur cause; C'est à toi que s'abandonne le malheureux, C'est toi qui viens en aide à l'orphelin. 15 Brise le bras du méchant, Punis ses iniquités, et qu'il disparaisse à tes yeux! 16 L'Éternel est roi à toujours et à perpétuité; Les nations sont exterminées de son pays. 17 Tu entends les voeux de ceux qui souffrent, ô Éternel! Tu affermis leur coeur; tu prêtes l'oreille 18 Pour rendre justice à l'orphelin et à l'opprimé, Afin que l'homme tiré de la terre cesse d'inspirer l'effroi.
