Песнь 10
Дирижёру хора. Песнь Давуда.
1На Вечного я уповаю.
Как вы можете говорить мне:
«Улетай на гору, как птица!
2Вот нечестивые уже натянули лук,
положили стрелу на тетиву,
чтобы во тьме стрелять
в правых сердцем.
3Когда устои распались,
что может сделать праведный?»
4Вечный в святом храме Своём,
Вечный на небесном троне Своём.
Он наблюдает за всем,
взор Его испытывает смертных.
5Вечный испытывает праведных,
а нечестивых и тех10:5 Или: «Вечный – праведен, и Он испытывает нечестивых, и тех…», кто любит насилие,
ненавидит Его душа.
6Он на нечестивых прольёт дождём
раскалённые угли с горящей серой;
палящий ветер – их участь.
7Вечный справедлив
и любит праведный суд;
праведники увидят Его лицо.
1Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

4The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.10.4 God is…: or, all his thoughts are, There is no God
5His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.10.6 never: Heb. unto generation and generation
7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.10.7 deceit: Heb. deceits10.7 vanity: or, iniquity
8He 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.10.8 are…: Heb. hide themselves

12Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.10.12 humble: or, afflicted
13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
14Thou 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.10.14 committeth: Heb. leaveth
15Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
16The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:10.17 prepare: or, establish
