humbariki mlafi na kumtukana Bwana.
410:4 Za 12:3-5; 36:1; 2Fal 18:35; Ay 21:15Katika kiburi chake, mwovu hamtafuti Mungu,

hakuna nafasi ya Mungu.
510:5 Za 18:27; 105:5; Mit 6:17; Isa 13:11; Yer 48:29Njia zake daima hufanikiwa;

810:8 Za 37:32; 59:3; 71:10; Mit 1:11; Yer 5:26; Mik 7:2; Hos 6:9Huvizia karibu na vijiji;
kutoka mafichoni huwanasa wasio na hatia,
akivizia wapitaji.

wewe ni msaada wa yatima.
1510:15 Ay 31:22Vunja mkono wa mtu mwovu na mbaya,
mwite atoe hesabu ya maovu yake
ambayo yasingejulikana.
1610:16 Kut 15:18; Kum 8:20Bwana ni Mfalme milele na milele,
mataifa wataangamia watoke nchini mwake.
1710:17 Za 9:12; Kut 22:23Unasikia, Ee Bwana, shauku ya wanaoonewa,
wewe huwatia moyo, na kusikiliza kilio chao,
1810:18 Kum 24:17; Za 146:9; 9:9ukiwatetea yatima na walioonewa,
ili mwanadamu, ambaye ni udongo, asiogopeshe tena.
Psalm 10Psalms 9 and 10 may originally have been a single acrostic poem in which alternating lines began with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In the Septuagint they constitute one psalm.
1Why, Lord, do you stand far off?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,
who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3He boasts about the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
4In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
5His ways are always prosperous;
your laws are rejected by10:5 See Septuagint; Hebrew / they are haughty, and your laws are far from him;
he sneers at all his enemies.
6He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”
7His mouth is full of lies and threats;
trouble and evil are under his tongue.
8He lies in wait near the villages;
from ambush he murders the innocent.
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
9like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;
he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
10His victims are crushed, they collapse;
they fall under his strength.
11He says to himself, “God will never notice;
he covers his face and never sees.”
12Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God.
Do not forget the helpless.
13Why does the wicked man revile God?
Why does he say to himself,
“He won’t call me to account”?
14But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted;
you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;
you are the helper of the fatherless.
15Break the arm of the wicked man;
call the evildoer to account for his wickedness
that would not otherwise be found out.
16The Lord is King for ever and ever;
the nations will perish from his land.
17You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
18defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
so that mere earthly mortals
will never again strike terror.
