Psalm 10 – A Song of Worship and Reflection

Psalm 10

10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in

times of trouble?

10:2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be

taken in the devices that they have imagined.

10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the

covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek

after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

10:5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of

his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall

never be in adversity.

10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his

tongue is mischief and vanity.

10:8 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.

10:9 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.

10:10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by

his strong ones.

10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his

face; he will never see it.

10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his

heart, Thou wilt not require it.

10:14 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.

10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his

wickedness till thou find none.

10:16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out

of his land.

10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt

prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the

earth may no more oppress.
