Salmos 10
La Palabra (España)
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!
Psalm 10
New International Version
Psalm 10[a]
2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,(C)
who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3 He boasts(D) about the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.(E)
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.(F)
5 His ways are always prosperous;
your laws are rejected by[b] him;
he sneers at all his enemies.
6 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”(G)
7 His mouth is full(H) of lies and threats;(I)
trouble and evil are under his tongue.(J)
8 He lies in wait(K) near the villages;
from ambush he murders the innocent.(L)
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
9 like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;(M)
he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.(N)
10 His victims are crushed,(O) they collapse;
they fall under his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God will never notice;(P)
he covers his face and never sees.”(Q)
12 Arise,(R) Lord! Lift up your hand,(S) O God.
Do not forget the helpless.(T)
13 Why does the wicked man revile God?(U)
Why does he say to himself,
“He won’t call me to account”?(V)
14 But you, God, see the trouble(W) of the afflicted;
you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;(X)
you are the helper(Y) of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked man;(Z)
call the evildoer to account for his wickedness
that would not otherwise be found out.
16 The Lord is King for ever and ever;(AA)
the nations(AB) will perish from his land.
17 You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;(AC)
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,(AD)
18 defending the fatherless(AE) and the oppressed,(AF)
so that mere earthly mortals
will never again strike terror.
