Psalm 10
King James Version
10 Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
16 The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

Psalm 10
Amplified Bible
A Prayer for the Overthrow of the Wicked.
10 Why do You stand far away, O Lord?
Why do You hide [Yourself, veiling Your eyes] in times of trouble?
2
In pride and arrogance the wicked hotly pursue and persecute the afflicted;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
3
For the wicked boasts and sings the praises of his heart’s desire,
And the greedy man curses and spurns [and even despises] the Lord.
4
The wicked, in the haughtiness of his face, will not seek nor inquire for Him;
All his thoughts are, “There is no God [so there is no accountability or punishment].”
5
His ways prosper at all times;
Your judgments [Lord] are on high, out of his sight [so he never thinks about them];
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
6
He says to himself, “I will not be moved;
For throughout all generations I will not be in adversity [for nothing bad will happen to me].”
7
His mouth is full of curses and deceit (fraud) and oppression;
Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness [injustice and sin].
8
He lurks in ambush in the villages;
In hiding places he kills the innocent;
He lies in wait for the unfortunate [the unhappy, the poor, the helpless].
9
He lurks in a hiding place like a lion in his lair;
He lies in wait to catch the afflicted;
He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net.
10
He crushes [his prey] and crouches;
And the unfortunate fall by his mighty claws.
11
He says to himself, “God has [quite] forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see my deed.”
12
Arise, O Lord! O God, lift up Your hand [in judgment];
Do not forget the suffering.
13
Why has the wicked spurned and shown disrespect to God?
He has said to himself, “You will not require me to account.”
14
You have seen it, for You have noted mischief and vexation (irritation) to take it into Your hand.
The unfortunate commits himself to You;
You are the helper of the fatherless.
15
Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,
Seek out his wickedness until You find no more.
16
The Lord is King forever and ever;
The nations will perish from His land.
17
O Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble and oppressed;
You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear to hear,
18
To vindicate and obtain justice for the fatherless and the oppressed,
So that man who is of the earth will no longer terrify them.

Salmos 10
Reina-Valera 1960
Plegaria pidiendo la destrucción de los malvados
10 ¿Por qué estás lejos, oh Jehová,
Y te escondes en el tiempo de la tribulación?
2 Con arrogancia el malo persigue al pobre;
Será atrapado en los artificios que ha ideado.
3 Porque el malo se jacta del deseo de su alma,
Bendice al codicioso, y desprecia a Jehová.
4 El malo, por la altivez de su rostro, no busca a Dios;
No hay Dios en ninguno de sus pensamientos.
5 Sus caminos son torcidos en todo tiempo;
Tus juicios los tiene muy lejos de su vista;
A todos sus adversarios desprecia.
6 Dice en su corazón: No seré movido jamás;
Nunca me alcanzará el infortunio.
7 Llena está su boca de maldición, y de engaños y fraude;(A)
Debajo de su lengua hay vejación y maldad.
8 Se sienta en acecho cerca de las aldeas;
En escondrijos mata al inocente.
Sus ojos están acechando al desvalido;
9 Acecha en oculto, como el león desde su cueva;
Acecha para arrebatar al pobre;
Arrebata al pobre trayéndolo a su red.
10 Se encoge, se agacha,
Y caen en sus fuertes garras muchos desdichados.
11 Dice en su corazón: Dios ha olvidado;
Ha encubierto su rostro; nunca lo verá.
12 Levántate, oh Jehová Dios, alza tu mano;
No te olvides de los pobres.
13 ¿Por qué desprecia el malo a Dios?
En su corazón ha dicho: Tú no lo inquirirás.
14 Tú lo has visto; porque miras el trabajo y la vejación, para dar la recompensa con tu mano;
A ti se acoge el desvalido;
Tú eres el amparo del huérfano.
15 Quebranta tú el brazo del inicuo,
Y persigue la maldad del malo hasta que no halles ninguna.
16 Jehová es Rey eternamente y para siempre;
De su tierra han perecido las naciones.
17 El deseo de los humildes oíste, oh Jehová;
Tú dispones su corazón, y haces atento tu oído,
18 Para juzgar al huérfano y al oprimido,
A fin de que no vuelva más a hacer violencia el hombre de la tierra.
