Salmos 10
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Las obras de los perversos
1 SEÑOR, ¿por qué te muestras tan distante?
¿Por qué desapareces en mis momentos de mayor angustia?
2 Los perversos persiguen con toda arrogancia a los justos
y los hacen caer en sus trampas.
3 Los perversos se enorgullecen de sus planes perversos,
y los que tienen muchos deseos de ganar dinero rechazan al SEÑOR.
4 Los perversos dicen que no hay Dios.
No le consultan nada, porque están llenos de soberbia.
Dios no cabe dentro de sus planes.
5 Los malos siempre andan bien;
las decisiones que tú tomas allá en el cielo, no les interesan.
Se burlan y se ríen de sus enemigos.
6 Esos perversos creen que nunca caerán;
que sus acciones no tendrán consecuencias negativas.
7 Constantemente blasfeman,
mienten y agreden con sus palabras.
Siempre están maquinando en contra de los demás.
8 Se esconden en lugares ocultos en las aldeas,
y esperan para matar a gente inocente.
Tienen su vista puesta en los desafortunados.
9 Son como leones agazapados en los matorrales;
listos para agarrar a los desafortunados,
los cuales caen en su trampa.
10 Como leones agazapados,
listos para atacar a su pobre víctima,
la agarran en su trampa y se la llevan.
11 Es entonces cuando esa pobre gente piensa que Dios la ha olvidado
y que a él no le importa lo que les sucede.
12 ¡Levántate SEÑOR!
¡Castiga a esos perversos!
No te olvides de la gente que sufre.
13 Los perversos desprecian a Dios
y piensan que él no los castigará por lo que han hecho.
14 Ellos no saben que tú te das cuenta de todo lo que sucede,
y que ves los problemas y sufrimientos de la gente.
No saben que tú ayudas a los que sufren por culpa de los perversos
y ayudas también a los huérfanos.
15 Dios mío, destruye a los perversos;
acaba con todo el mal que han hecho.
16 El SEÑOR reinará por siempre,
él quitará las naciones de la tierra.
17 SEÑOR, tú escucharás las oraciones de la gente humilde
y le darás ánimo a su corazón;
préstales atención.
18 Protege a los indefensos,
haz justicia a los pobres y oprimidos,
y que el ser humano no cause más violencia sobre la tierra.
Psalm 10
World English Bible
10 Why do you stand far off, Yahweh?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak.
They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings.
He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.
4 The wicked, in the pride of his face,
has no room in his thoughts for God.
5 His 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.
6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken.
For generations I shall have no trouble.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression.
Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
8 He lies in wait near the villages.
From ambushes, he murders the innocent.
His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
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 The helpless are crushed.
They collapse.
They fall under his strength.
11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten.
He hides his face.
He will never see it.”
12 Arise, Yahweh!
God, lift up your hand!
Don’t forget the helpless.
13 Why does the wicked person condemn God,
and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
14 But you do see trouble and grief.
You consider it to take it into your hand.
You help the victim and the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked.
As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
16 Yahweh is King forever and ever!
The nations will perish out of his land.
17 Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble.
You will prepare their heart.
You will cause your ear to hear,
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed,
that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”(G)

The victims commit themselves to you;(X)

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)

so that mere earthly mortals
will never again strike terror.
