Psalms 10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Nova Vulgata
¹ Why dost thou stand afar off, O LORD? Why dost thou hide thyself in times of trouble?	¹ (Vg 9, 22-39) LAMED. Ut quid, Domine, stas a longe, abscondis te in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione?
² In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes which they have devised.	² Dum superbit, impius insequitur pauperem; comprehendantur in consiliis, quae cogitant.
³ For the wicked boasts of the desires of his heart, and the man greedy for gain curses and renounces the LORD.	³ Quoniam gloriatur peccator in desideriis animae suae, et avarus sibi benedicit.
⁴ In the pride of his countenance the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, "There is no God."	⁴ NUN. Spernit Dominum peccator in arrogantia sua: “ Non requiret; non est Deus ”.
⁵ His ways prosper at all times; thy judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them.	⁵ Hae sunt omnes cogitationes eius; prosperantur viae illius in omni tempore. Excelsa nimis iudicia tua a facie eius; omnes inimicos suos aspernatur.
⁶ He thinks in his heart, "I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity."	⁶ Dixit enim in corde suo: “ Non movebor; in generationem et generationem ero sine malo ”.
⁷ His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.	⁷ PHE. Cuius maledictione os plenum est et fraudulentia et dolo, sub lingua eius labor et nequitia.
⁸ He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the hapless,	⁸ Sedet in insidiis ad vicos, in occultis interficit innocentem.
⁹ he lurks in secret like a lion in his covert; he lurks that he may seize the poor, he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.	⁹ SADE. Oculi eius in pauperem respiciunt; insidiatur in abscondito quasi leo in spelunca sua. Insidiatur, ut rapiat pauperem; rapit pauperem, dum attrahit in laqueum suum.
¹⁰ The hapless is crushed, sinks down, and falls by his might.	¹⁰ Irruit et inclinat se, et miseri cadunt in fortitudine brachiorum eius.
¹¹ He thinks in his heart, "God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it."	¹¹ Dixit enim in corde suo: “ Oblitus est Deus; avertit faciem suam, non videbit in finem ”. -
¹² Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thy hand; forget not the afflicted.	¹² COPH. Exsurge, Domine Deus, exalta manum tuam, ne obliviscaris pauperum.
¹³ Why does the wicked renounce God, and say in his heart, "Thou wilt not call to account"?	¹³ Propter quid spernit impius Deum? Dixit enim in corde suo: “ Non requires ”.
¹⁴ Thou dost see; yea, thou dost note trouble and vexation, that thou mayest take it into thy hands; the hapless commits himself to thee; thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.	¹⁴ RES. Vidisti: tu laborem et dolorem consideras, ut tradas eos in manus tuas. Tibi derelictus est pauper, orphano tu factus es adiutor.
¹⁵ Break thou the arm of the wicked and evildoer; seek out his wickedness till thou find none.	¹⁵ SIN. Contere brachium peccatoris et maligni; quaeres peccatum illius et non invenies.
¹⁶ The LORD is king for ever and ever; the nations shall perish from his land.	¹⁶ Dominus rex in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi: perierunt gentes de terra illius.
¹⁷ O LORD, thou wilt hear the desire of the meek; thou wilt strengthen their heart, thou wilt incline thy ear	¹⁷ TAU. Desiderium pauperum exaudisti, Domine; confirmabis cor eorum, intendes aurem tuam
¹⁸ to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.	¹⁸ iudicare pupillo et humili, ut non apponat ultra inducere timorem homo de terra.
