Psalm 10
New King James Version
A Song of Confidence in God’s Triumph over Evil
10 Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2 The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire;
He blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.
4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
God is in none of his thoughts.
5 His ways are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
6 He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
I shall never be in adversity.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
9 He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
10 So he crouches, he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by his strength.
11 He has said in his heart,
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”
12 Arise, O Lord!
O God, lift up Your hand!
Do not forget the humble.
13 Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an account.”
14 But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless commits himself to You;
You are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;
Seek out his wickedness until You find none.
16 The Lord is King forever and ever;
The nations have perished out of His land.
17 Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will prepare their heart;
You will cause Your ear to hear,
18 To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,
That the man of the earth may oppress no more.

Salmos 10
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Salmo 10 (9)
Has escuchado, Señor, el deseo de los pobres
10 Señor, ¿por qué permaneces lejos
y te ocultas en tiempo de angustia?
2 Con su arrogancia el malvado acosa al débil;
¡ojalá quede atrapado en la trama que ha urdido!
3 El malvado se enorgullece de su ambición,
el codicioso blasfema e injuria al Señor.
4 El malvado, en su soberbia, de nada se preocupa:
“No hay Dios”; esto es todo lo que piensa.
5 Sus caminos siempre prosperan,
tus mandatos están lejos de él,
a todos sus enemigos desprecia.
6 Él piensa: “Nadie me hará caer;
seré feliz, no me alcanzará la desgracia”.
7 Su boca está llena de maldición, mentira y engaño;
bajo su lengua hay injusticia y maldad.
8 Se aposta al acecho junto a los poblados,
a escondidas mata al inocente,
sus ojos espían al desvalido.
9 Se esconde al acecho
como león en su guarida,
acecha para apresar al humilde,
lo apresa atrayéndolo a su trampa.
10 Se agazapa, se encorva
y caen en sus garras los desvalidos.
11 Piensa: “Dios lo ha olvidado,
ha ocultado su rostro, nunca vio nada”.
12 ¡Ponte, Señor, en acción!
¡Muestra, oh Dios, tu poder!
No olvides a los humildes.
13 ¿Por qué el malvado injuria al Señor
pensando: “de nada me hace responsable”?
14 Pero tú lo has visto, tú miras la miseria y el dolor
para acogerlos en tus manos.
En ti se abandona el desvalido,
tú eres quien protege al huérfano.
15 Destruye el poder del malvado y del injusto,
hazle responder de su maldad
hasta que desaparezca por completo.
16 El Señor es el rey eterno,
los paganos desaparecerán de su tierra.
17 Tú atiendes, Señor, el deseo de los humildes,
fortaleces su corazón, les prestas oído;
18 haces justicia al huérfano y al oprimido,
¡que el simple mortal no vuelva a sembrar el miedo!
