Salmos 10
Bible in Basic English
1Why do you keep far away, O Lord? why are you not to be seen in times of trouble?
2The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.
3For the evil-doer is lifted up because of the purpose of his heart, and he whose mind is fixed on wealth is turned away from the Lord, saying evil against him.
4The evil-doer in his pride says, God will not make a search. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
5His ways are ever fixed; your decisions are higher than he may see: as for his haters, they are as nothing to him.
6He has said in his heart, I will not be moved: through all generations I will never be in trouble.
7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and false words: under his tongue are evil purposes and dark thoughts.
8He is waiting in the dark places of the towns: in the secret places he puts to death those who have done no wrong: his eyes are secretly turned against the poor.
9He keeps himself in a secret place like a lion in his hole, waiting to put his hands on the poor man, and pulling him into his net.
10The upright are crushed and made low, and the feeble are overcome by his strong ones.
11He says in his heart, God has no memory of me: his face is turned away; he will never see it.
12Up! O Lord; let your hand be lifted: give thought to the poor.
13Why has the evil-doer a low opinion of God, saying in his heart, You will not make search for it?
14You have seen it; for your eyes are on sorrow and grief, to take it into your hand: the poor man puts his faith in you; you have been the helper of the child who has no father.
15Let the arm of the sinner and the evil-doer be broken; go on searching for his sin till there is no more.
16The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations are gone from his land.
17Lord, you have given ear to the prayer of the poor: you will make strong their hearts, you will give them a hearing:
18To give decision for the child without a father and for the broken-hearted, so that the man of the earth may no longer be feared.
Reina-Valera 1909
1¿POR qué estás lejos, oh Jehová, y te escondes en el tiempo de la tribulación?
2Con arrogancia el malo persigue al pobre: serán cogidos en los artificios que han ideado.
3Por cuanto se alaba el malo del deseo de su alma, y bendice al codicioso, á quien Jehová aborrece.
4El malo, por la altivez de su rostro, no busca á Dios: no hay Dios en todos sus pensamientos.
5Sus caminos son viciosos en todo tiempo: tus juicios los tiene muy lejos de su vista: echa bocanadas en orden á todos sus enemigos.
6Dice en su corazón: No seré movido en ningún tiempo, ni jamás me alcanzará el infortunio.
7Llena está su boca de maldición, y de engaños y fraude: debajo de su lengua, vejación y maldad.
8Está en las guaridas de las aldeas: en los escondrijos mata al inocente: sus ojos están acechando al pobre.
9Acecha en oculto, como el león desde su cama: acecha para arrebatar al pobre: arrebata al pobre trayéndolo á su red.
10Encógese, agáchase, y caen en sus fuerzas muchos desdichados.
11Dice en su corazón: Dios está olvidado, ha encubierto su rostro; nunca lo verá.
12Levántate, oh Jehová Dios, alza tu mano, no te olvides de los pobres.
13¿Por qué irrita el malo á Dios? En su corazón ha dicho que no lo inquirirás.
14Tú lo tienes visto: porque tú miras el trabajo, y la vejación, para vengarle por tu mano: á ti se acoge el pobre, tú eres el amparo del huérfano.
15Quebranta el brazo del malo: del maligno buscarás su maldad, hasta que ninguna halles.
16Jehová, Rey eterno y perpetuo; de su tierra fueron destruídas las gentes.
17El deseo de los humildes oíste, oh Jehová: tú dispones su corazón, y haces atento tu oído;
18Para juzgar al huérfano y al pobre, á fin de que no vuelva más á hacer violencia el hombre de la tierra.
King James Version
1Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
2The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
4The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
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 poor.
9He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
12Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
14Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
15Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
16The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
World English Bible
1Why do you stand far off, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
3For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns the LORD.
4The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
5His 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.
6He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
7His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
8He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
9He 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.
10The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
11He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”
12Arise, LORD! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.
13Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
14But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
15Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
16The LORD is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.
17LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
18to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
