The Scriptures 1998

Psalms 10:3-12 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

3. For the wrongdoer boasted of his cravings; And the greedy one cursed and despised יהוה.

4. In the pride of his face The wrongdoer does not seek Him, In all his thoughts there is no Elohim!

5. His ways are always prosperous! Your right-rulings are on high, out of his sight! He snorts at all his adversaries!

6. He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved; From generation to generation, never be in evil!”

7. His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is trouble and wickedness.

8. He sits in the hiding places of the villages; In the secret places he murders the innocent; His eyes are on the lookout for the helpless.

9. He lies in wait in a secret place, as a lion in his den; He lies in wait to catch the poor; He catches the poor, drawing him into his net.

10. And he crouches, he lies low, And the helpless fall under his strength.

11. He has said in his heart, “Ěl has forgotten, He has hidden His face, He shall never see.”

12. Arise, O יהוה! O Ěl, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the lowly ones.
