Psalm 10:8-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 They sit in ambush in the villages;
in hiding places they murder the innocent.
Their eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;(A)
9 they lurk in secret like a lion in its den;
they lurk that they may seize the poor;
they seize the poor and drag them off in their net.(B)
10 They stoop, they crouch,
and the helpless fall by their might.
11 They think in their heart, “God has forgotten;
he has hidden his face; he will never see it.”(C)
12 Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
do not forget the oppressed.(D)
13 Why do the wicked renounce God
and say in their hearts, “You will not call us to account”?
14 But you do see! Indeed, you note trouble and grief,
that you may take it into your hands;
the helpless commit themselves to you;
you have been the helper of the orphan.(E)
15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoers;
seek out their wickedness until you find none.(F)
16 The Lord is king forever and ever;
the nations shall perish from his land.(G)
17 O Lord, you will hear the desire of the meek;
you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear(H)
18 to do justice for the orphan and the oppressed,
so that those from earth may strike terror no more.[a](I)

The Question about Paying Tribute
20 So they watched him and sent spies who pretended to be honest, in order to trap him by what he said and then to hand him over to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor. 21 So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and you show deference to no one but teach the way of God in accordance with truth.(B) 22 Is it lawful for us to pay tribute to Caesar or not?” 23 But he perceived their craftiness and said to them, 24 “Show me a denarius. Whose head and whose title does it bear?” They said, “Caesar’s.” 25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.”(C) 26 And they were not able in the presence of the people to trap him by what he said, and being amazed by his answer they became silent.
