NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Psalms 10

A Prayer for the Overthrow of the Wicked.

1

Why  ado You standh5975 afarh7350 off, O LORDh3068? Why  bdo You hideh5956  1Yourself in timesh6256 of troubleh6869a?

2

In  aprideh1346 the wickedh7563  1hotlyh1814 pursueh1814 the afflictedh6041;  2Let them be  bcaughth8610 in the plotsh4209 whichh2098 they have devisedh2803.

3

For the wickedh7563  aboastsh1984b of his  bheart'sh5315 desireh8378, And  1the greedyh1214 manh1214 cursesh1288 and  cspurnsh5006 the LORDh3068.

4

The wickedh7563, in the haughtinessh1363 of his countenanceh639,  adoes not seekh1875 Him. Allh3605 his  1thoughtsh4209 are, " bThereh369 is noh369 Godh430."

5

His waysh1870  1 aprosperh2342b at allh3605 timesh6256; Your judgmentsh4941 are on highh4791,  bout of his sighth5048; As for allh3605 his adversariesh6887c, he snortsh6315 at them.

6

He saysh559 to himselfh3820, " aI will not be movedh4131;  1Throughout allh1755 generationsh1755  bI will not be in adversityh7451b."

7

His  amouthh6310 is fullh4390 of cursesh423 and deceith4820 and  boppressionh8496;  cUnderh8478 his tongueh3956 is mischiefh5999 and wickednessh205.

8

He sitsh3427 in the  alurkingh3993 placesh3993 of the villagesh2691b; In the hidingh4565 placesh4565 he  bkillsh2026 the innocenth5355a; His eyesh5869  1stealthilyh6845 watchh6845 for the  2 cunfortunateh2489.

9

He lurksh693 in a hidingh4565 placeh4565 as  aa lionh743b in his  1lairh5520; He  blurksh693 to catchh2414  cthe afflictedh6041; He catchesh2414 the afflictedh6041 when he drawsh4900 him into his  dneth7568.

10

He  1crouchesh1794, he  2bowsh7817 downh7817, And the  3unfortunateh2489 fallh5307  4by his mightyh6099 onesh6099.

11

He  asaysh559 to himselfh3820, "Godh410 has forgottenh7911; He has hiddenh5641 His faceh6440; He will neverh1077h5331 seeh7200 it."

12

Ariseh6965, O LORDh3068; O Godh410,  alifth5375 up Your handh3027.  bDo not forgeth7911 the afflictedh6035.

13

Whyh5921h4100 has the wickedh7563  aspurnedh5006 Godh430? He has saidh559 to himselfh3820, "You will not requireh1875 it."

14

You have seenh7200 it, for You have beheldh5027  amischiefh5999 and vexationh3708a to  1takeh5414 it into Your handh3027. The  2 bunfortunateh2489 commitsh5800a himself to You; You have beenh1961 the  chelperh5826 of the orphanh3490.

15

 aBreakh7665 the armh2220 of the wickedh7563 and the evildoerh7451a,  1 bSeekh1875 out his wickednessh7562 until You findh4672 noneh1077.

16

The LORDh3068 is  aKingh4428 foreverh5769 and everh5703;  bNationsh1471 have perishedh6 from His landh776.

17

O LORDh3068, You have heardh8085 the  adesireh8378 of the  1humbleh6035; You will  bstrengthenh3559 their hearth3820,  cYou will inclineh7181 Your earh241

18

To  1vindicateh8199 the  aorphanh3490 and the  boppressedh1790, So that manh582 who is of the earthh776 will noh1077 longerh3254h5750 causeh6206  cterrorh6206.
