10:4 The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. `God is not!’ [are] all his devices.
10:5 Pain do his ways at all times, On high [are] Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries — he puffeth at them.
10:6 He hath said in his heart, `I am not moved,’ To generation and generation not in evil.
10:7 Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
10:8 He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,
10:9 He lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
10:10 He is bruised — he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.
10:11 He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.’
10:12 Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.
10:13 Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in his heart, `It is not required.’
10:14 Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave [it], Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.
10:15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;
10:16 Jehovah [is] king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!
10:17 The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,
10:18 To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress — man of the earth!
11:1 To the Overseer. — By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, `They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird?
11:2 For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
11:3 When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous — what hath he done?
11:4 `Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah — in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see — His eyelids try the sons of men.
11:5 Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,
11:6 He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.
11:7 For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!’
12:1 To the Overseer, on the octave. — A Psalm of David. Save, Jehovah, for the saintly hath failed, For the stedfast have ceased From the sons of men:
