Panalangin Upang Magtamo ng Katarungan

10 O Yahweh, bakit masyado kang malayo?
    Sa panahon ng gulo, bakit ka nagtatago?
Inaapi ang mga dukha ng palalo't walang-awa;
    nawa'y sila ang mahuli sa patibong nilang gawa.

Ipinagyayabang ng masasama ang kanilang mga hangarin;
    si Yahweh ay nilalait at sinusumpa ng mga sakim.
Ang sabi ng masasamang tao, “Diyos ay walang pakialam,”
    sabi nila'y “walang Diyos,” dahil sa kanilang kahambugan.

Ang masasama'y palaging nagtatagumpay;
    ang hatol ng Diyos ay di nila nauunawaan,
    palagi nilang tinutuya ang kanilang mga kaaway.
Sinasabi nila sa sarili, “Hindi kami mabibigo;
    kaguluhan sa buhay, hindi namin matatamo.”
Namumutawi(A) sa bibig nila'y sumpa, banta at pandaraya,
    dila nila'y laging handa sa marumi't masamang pananalita.

Sa mga nayon sila'y nag-aabang,
    upang paslangin ang walang kamalay-malay.
Para silang leon na nasa taguan,
    mga kawawang dukha'y inaabangan,
    hinuhuli ang mga ito sa kanilang bitag,
    at pagkatapos ay kinakaladkad.

10 Dahan-dahan silang gumagapang,
    upang biktimahin ang mga mahihina.
11 Ganito ang sabi ng masasama, “Ang Diyos ay walang pakialam!
    Mata niya'y nakapikit, di niya ako mapagmamasdan.”

12 Gumising ka, O Yahweh, at ang masasama'y parusahan,
    silang mga naghihirap ay huwag mong kalimutan!
13 Bakit hinahayaan ng Diyos na hamakin siya ng masasama,
    na nagsasabing ang parusahan sila'y di raw niya magagawa?

14 Subalit nakikita mo ang hirap at kaapihan,
    at ikaw ay palaging handang dumamay.
Ang mga kapus-palad ay sa iyo lang umaasa,
    sa tuwina'y sumasaklolo ka sa mga ulila.

15 Mga braso ng masasama'y iyong baliin,
    parusahan mo sila't kasamaa'y sugpuin.

16 Naghahari si Yahweh magpakailanpaman,
    mga bansang may ibang Diyos, sa lupa'y mapaparam.

17 Papakinggan mo, Yahweh, ang dalangin ng mga hamak,
    patatatagin mo ang loob ng mga kapus-palad.
18 Ipagtatanggol mo ang mga api at mga ulila,
    upang wala nang taong mananakot ng kapwa.

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?
The wicked in his pride [a]persecutes the poor;
(A)Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

For the wicked (B)boasts of his heart’s desire;
[b]He (C)blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.
The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
[c]God is in none of his (D)thoughts.

His ways [d]are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
(E)He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
(F)I shall never be in adversity.”
(G)His mouth is full of cursing and (H)deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.

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.
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 [e]he crouches, he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by his [f]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, (I)lift up Your hand!
Do not forget the (J)humble.
13 Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an account.

14 But You have (K)seen, for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless (L)commits[g] himself to You;
(M)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 (N)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 [h]do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,
That the man of the earth may [i]oppress no more.
