Salmo 10
Oración pidiendo la caída de los impíos
10 ¿Por qué, oh Señor, te mantienes alejado(A),
Y te escondes(B) en tiempos de tribulación?
2 Con arrogancia el impío acosa al afligido(C);
¡Que sea atrapado en las trampas que ha preparado(D)!
3 ¶Porque del deseo de su corazón(E) se gloría el impío(F),
Y el codicioso maldice y desprecia al Señor(G).
4 El impío, en la arrogancia de su rostro, no busca a Dios(H).
Todo su pensamiento es: «No hay Dios(I)».
5 ¶Sus caminos prosperan en todo tiempo(J);
Tus juicios, oh Dios, están en lo alto, lejos de su vista(K);
A todos sus adversarios los desprecia.
6 Dice en su corazón: «No hay quien me mueva(L);
Por todas las generaciones no sufriré adversidad(M)».
7 Llena está su boca de blasfemia(N), engaño y opresión(O);
Bajo su lengua hay malicia e iniquidad(P).
8 Se sienta al acecho en las aldeas(Q),
En los escondrijos mata al inocente(R);
Sus ojos espían al desvalido(S).
9 Acecha en el escondrijo como león en su guarida(T);
Acecha(U) para atrapar al afligido(V),
Y atrapa al afligido arrastrándolo a su red(W).
10 Se agazapa, se encoge,
Y los desdichados caen en sus garras.
11 El impío dice en su corazón: «Dios se ha olvidado;
Ha escondido Su rostro; nunca verá nada(X)».
12 ¶Levántate, oh Señor; alza, oh Dios, Tu mano(Y).
No te olvides de los pobres(Z).
13 ¿Por qué ha despreciado el impío a Dios(AA)?
Ha dicho en su corazón: «Tú no le pedirás cuentas».
14 Tú lo has visto, porque has contemplado la malicia y el maltrato(AB), para hacer justicia con Tu mano.
A Ti se acoge el desvalido(AC);
Tú has sido amparo del huérfano(AD).
15 Quiébrale el brazo al impío y al malvado(AE);
Persigue su maldad hasta que desaparezca(AF).
16 ¶El Señor es Rey eternamente y para siempre(AG);
Las naciones han perecido de Su tierra(AH).
17 Oh Señor, Tú has oído el deseo de los humildes(AI);
Tú fortalecerás su corazón(AJ) e inclinarás Tu oído(AK)
18 Para hacer justicia al huérfano(AL) y al afligido(AM);
Para que no vuelva a causar terror el hombre que es de la tierra(AN).

Psalm 10[a]
10 Why do you stand so far away, Lord,
hiding yourself in troubling times?
2 Meanwhile, the wicked are proudly
in hot pursuit of those who suffer.
Let them get caught
in the very same schemes they’ve thought up!
3 The wicked brag about their body’s[b] cravings;
the greedy reject the Lord, cursing.
4 At the peak of their wrath,
the wicked don’t seek God:
There’s no God—
that’s what they are always thinking.
5 Their ways are always twisted.
Your rules are too lofty for them.
They snort at all their foes.
6 They think to themselves,
We’ll never stumble.
We’ll never encounter any resistance.
7 Their mouths are filled
with curses, dishonesty, violence.
Under their tongues lie
troublemaking and wrongdoing.
8 They wait in a place perfect for ambush;[c]
from their hiding places
they kill innocent people;
their eyes spot those who are helpless.
9 They lie in ambush
in secret places,
like a lion in its lair.
They lie in ambush
so they can seize those who suffer!
They seize the poor, all right,
dragging them off in their nets.
10 Their helpless victims are crushed;
they collapse, falling prey to the strength of the wicked.
11 The wicked think to themselves:
God has forgotten.
God has hidden his face.
God never sees anything!
12 Get up, Lord!
Get your fist ready, God!
Don’t forget the ones who suffer!
13 Why do the wicked reject God?
Why do they think to themselves
that you won’t find out?
14 But you do see!
You do see troublemaking and grief,
and you do something about it!
The helpless leave it all to you.
You are the orphan’s helper.
15 Break the arms of those
who are wicked and evil.
Seek out their wickedness
until there’s no more to find.
16 The Lord rules forever and always!
The nations will vanish from his land.
17 Lord, you listen to the desires of those who suffer.
You steady their hearts;
you listen closely to them,
18 to establish justice
for the orphan and the oppressed,
so that people of the land
will never again be terrified.

Why Do You Hide Yourself?
10 Why, O Lord, do you stand (A)far away?
Why (B)do you hide yourself in (C)times of trouble?
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 judgements 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 for ever 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.

New International Version
Psalm 10[a]
2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,(C)
who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3 He boasts(D) about the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.(E)
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.(F)
5 His ways are always prosperous;
your laws are rejected by[b] him;
he sneers at all his enemies.
6 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”(G)
7 His mouth is full(H) of lies and threats;(I)
trouble and evil are under his tongue.(J)
8 He lies in wait(K) near the villages;
from ambush he murders the innocent.(L)
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
9 like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;(M)
he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.(N)
10 His victims are crushed,(O) they collapse;
they fall under his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God will never notice;(P)
he covers his face and never sees.”(Q)
12 Arise,(R) Lord! Lift up your hand,(S) O God.
Do not forget the helpless.(T)
13 Why does the wicked man revile God?(U)
Why does he say to himself,
“He won’t call me to account”?(V)
14 But you, God, see the trouble(W) of the afflicted;
you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;(X)
you are the helper(Y) of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked man;(Z)
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)
the nations(AB) will perish from his land.
17 You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;(AC)
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,(AD)
18 defending the fatherless(AE) and the oppressed,(AF)
so that mere earthly mortals
will never again strike terror.
