Psalm 10
Hoffnung für Alle
Gott, lass dir das nicht bieten!
10 Warum, Herr, bist du so weit weg?
Warum verbirgst du dich, wenn wir dich am nötigsten brauchen?
2 Gottlose Menschen schrecken vor nichts zurück.
Auf den Schwachen und Hilflosen machen sie Jagd
und bringen ihn mit ihren hinterlistigen Plänen zur Strecke.
3 Diese Gauner sind auch noch stolz auf ihre habgierigen Wünsche.
Doch für Gott haben sie nichts übrig,
mit wüsten Sprüchen ziehen sie über ihn her.
4 Hochnäsig behaupten sie: »Gott kümmert es nicht, was wir tun.«
Ja, sie meinen: »Es gibt überhaupt keinen Gott!«
5 Noch geht ihnen alles nach Wunsch.
Dass du Gericht halten wirst, lässt sie kalt.
Sie verhöhnen alle, die sich ihnen in den Weg stellen.
6 »Uns haut nichts um!«, bilden sie sich ein.
»Kein Unglück hat uns je getroffen,
und daran wird sich auch nichts ändern!«
7 Sobald sie den Mund aufmachen, fluchen, lügen und erpressen sie.
Wie viel Unheil und Verderben richten sie an!
8 In der Nähe der Dörfer liegen sie im Hinterhalt
und lauern ihren hilflosen Opfern auf.
Im Versteck bringen sie die Unschuldigen um.
9 Wie Löwen im Dickicht liegen sie auf der Lauer,
um wehrlose Menschen zu überfallen und fortzuschleifen.
10 Sie stürzen sich auf ihre Opfer
und schlagen sie brutal zusammen.
11 »Was wir tun, interessiert Gott gar nicht«, reden sie sich ein.
»Er ist blind für das, was geschieht,
und hat dazu noch ein schlechtes Gedächtnis!«
12 Greif doch ein, Herr! Lass dir das nicht bieten!
Vergiss die Hilflosen nicht!
13 Warum lässt du es zu,
dass solche Schurken deine Ehre in den Schmutz ziehen?
Warum dürfen sie sich einbilden,
dass du sie nie zur Rechenschaft ziehen wirst?
14 Nein, du verschließt deine Augen nicht vor der Not
und siehst dem Unrecht nicht tatenlos zu.
Die Wehrlosen können sich dir anvertrauen,
den Waisen kommst du zu Hilfe.
15 Zerbrich die Macht der Gottlosen! Bestrafe sie für ihre Bosheit,
damit sie nicht weiter Unheil anrichten!
16 Der Herr ist König für immer und ewig!
Die gottlosen Völker müssen aus seinem Land verschwinden.
17 Die Hilflosen bestürmen dich mit ihren Bitten.
Du, Herr, hörst ihr Rufen und schenkst ihnen neuen Mut.
18 Du sorgst für das Recht der Unterdrückten und Waisen,
jeder Gewaltherrschaft auf Erden machst du ein Ende.
Psalm 10
New King James Version
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?
2 The wicked in his pride [a]persecutes the poor;
(A)Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
3 For the wicked (B)boasts of his heart’s desire;
[b]He (C)blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.
4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
[c]God is in none of his (D)thoughts.
5 His ways [d]are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
6 (E)He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
(F)I shall never be in adversity.”
7 (G)His mouth is full of cursing and (H)deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
8 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.
9 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.

Psalm 10
English Standard Version
Why Do You Hide Yourself?
2 In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor;
let them (D)be caught in the schemes that they have devised.
3 For the wicked (E)boasts of the desires of his soul,
and the one greedy for gain (F)curses[a] and (G)renounces the Lord.
4 In the pride of his face[b] the wicked does not (H)seek him;[c]
all his thoughts are, (I)“There is no God.”
5 His ways prosper at all times;
your judgments are on high, (J)out of his sight;
as for all his foes, he (K)puffs at them.
6 He (L)says in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
throughout all generations I (M)shall not meet adversity.”
7 (N)His mouth is filled with cursing and (O)deceit and (P)oppression;
(Q)under his tongue are (R)mischief and (S)iniquity.
8 He sits in ambush in the villages;
in (T)hiding places he murders the innocent.
His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
9 he lurks in ambush like (U)a lion in his (V)thicket;
he (W)lurks that he may seize the poor;
he seizes the poor when he draws him into his (X)net.
10 The helpless are crushed, sink down,
and fall by his might.
11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten,
he has (Y)hidden his face, he (Z)will never see it.”
12 (AA)Arise, O Lord; O God, (AB)lift up your hand;
(AC)forget not the afflicted.
13 Why does the wicked (AD)renounce God
and say in his heart, “You will not (AE)call to account”?
14 But you do see, for you (AF)note mischief and vexation,
that you may take it into your hands;
to you the helpless (AG)commits himself;
you have been (AH)the helper of the fatherless.
15 (AI)Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer;
(AJ)call his wickedness to account till you find none.
16 (AK)The Lord is king forever and ever;
the (AL)nations perish from his land.
17 O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted;
you will (AM)strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear
18 to (AN)do justice to the fatherless and (AO)the oppressed,
so that (AP)man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.

詩篇 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
求上帝懲治惡人
10 耶和華啊,你為何遠遠站著?
為何在我遭難時隱藏起來?
2 惡人狂妄地追逼窮苦人,
願他們落入自己所設的圈套。
3 惡人誇耀自己的貪慾,
貪婪的人憎恨、咒詛耶和華。
4 他們狂傲自大,心中沒有上帝,
從不尋求耶和華。
5 他們凡事順利,
對你的審判不屑一顧,
對所有的仇敵嗤之以鼻。
6 他們自以為可以屹立不倒,
世世代代永不遭殃。
7 他們滿口咒詛、謊話和恐嚇之言,
舌頭沾滿禍害和邪惡。
8 他們埋伏在村莊,
暗中監視受害者,殺害無辜。
9 他們像獅子埋伏在暗處,
獵取無助的人,
用網羅拖走他們。
10 不幸的人被擊垮,
倒在他們的暴力下。
11 他們自言自語:「上帝忘記了,
祂掩面不理這些事!」
12 耶和華啊,求你起來!
上帝啊,求你舉手施罰,
不要忘記無助的人!
13 惡人為何輕視上帝,
以為上帝不會追究呢?
14 但你已看到世人的疾苦,
隨時伸出援手。
困苦無助的人投靠你,
你是孤兒的幫助。
15 求你打斷惡人的臂膀,
徹底追究他們的罪惡。
16 耶和華永永遠遠是君王,
列邦必從祂的土地上滅亡。
17 耶和華啊,
你知道困苦人的願望,
你必垂聽他們的呼求,
安慰他們。
18 你為孤兒和受欺壓的人伸冤,
使渺小的世人不能再恐嚇他們。
