The Psalms, starting at chapter 10

Psalm 10

{10:1} Why do you stand far off, Yahweh?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
{10:2} In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak.
They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
{10:3} For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings.
He blesses the greedy, and condemns Yahweh.
{10:4} The wicked, in the pride of his face,
has no room in his thoughts for God.
{10:5} His ways are prosperous at all times.
He is haughty, and your laws are far from his sight.
As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
{10:6} He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken.
For generations I shall have no trouble."
{10:7} His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression.
Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
{10:8} He lies in wait near the villages.
From ambushes, he murders the innocent.
His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
{10:9} 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.
{10:10} The helpless are crushed.
They collapse.
They fall under his strength.
{10:11} He says in his heart, "God has forgotten.
He hides his face.
He will never see it."

{10:12} Arise, Yahweh!
God, lift up your hand!
Don't forget the helpless.
{10:13} Why does the wicked person condemn God,
and say in his heart, "God won't call me into account?"
{10:14} But you do see trouble and grief.
You consider it to take it into your hand.
You help the victim and the fatherless.
{10:15} Break the arm of the wicked.
As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
{10:16} Yahweh is King forever and ever!
The nations will perish out of his land.
{10:17} Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble.
You will prepare their heart.
You will cause your ear to hear,
{10:18} to judge the fatherless and the oppressed,
that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

Psalm 11
For the Chief Musician. By David.

{11:1} In Yahweh, I take refuge.
How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain!"
{11:2} For, behold, the wicked bend their bows.
They set their arrows on the strings,
that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
{11:3} If the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?
{11:4} Yahweh is in his holy temple.
Yahweh is on his throne in heaven.
His eyes observe.
His eyes examine the children of men.
{11:5} Yahweh examines the righteous,
but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.
{11:6} On the wicked he will rain blazing coals;
fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
{11:7} For Yahweh is righteous.
He loves righteousness.
The upright shall see his face.

Psalm 12
For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.

{12:1} Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases.
For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
{12:2} Everyone lies to his neighbor.
They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
{12:3} May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that boasts,
{12:4} who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail.
Our lips are our own.
Who is lord over us?"
{12:5} "Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the
groaning of the needy,
I will now arise," says Yahweh;
"I will set him in safety from those who malign him."
{12:6} The words of Yahweh are flawless words,
as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
{12:7} You will keep them, Yahweh.
You will preserve them from this generation forever.
{12:8} The wicked walk on every side,
when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
