Psalm 10:10–12

10 The helpless are crushed, sink down,

and fall by his might.

11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten,

he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”

12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;

forget not the afflicted.

10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself,

That the poor may fall by his strong ones.

11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten:

He hideth his face; he will never see it.

12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand:

Forget not the humble.

10 Their helpless victims are crushed;

they fall beneath the strength of the wicked.

11 The wicked think, “God isn’t watching us!

He has closed his eyes and won’t even see what we do!”

12 Arise, O Lord!

Punish the wicked, O God!

Do not ignore the helpless!

10 So he crouches, he lies low,

That the helpless may fall by his strength.

11 He has said in his heart,

“God has forgotten;

He hides His face;

He will never see.”

12 Arise, O Lord!

O God, lift up Your hand!

Do not forget the humble.

10 The poor are thrown down and crushed;

they are defeated because the others are stronger.

11 The wicked think, “God has forgotten us.

He doesn’t see what is happening.”

12 Lord, rise up and punish the wicked.

Don’t forget those who need help.

10 He croucheth, he boweth down,

And the helpless fall by his strong ones.

11 He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten;

He hideth his face; he will never see it.

12 Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand:

Forget not the poor.

10 He croucheth, he boweth down, that the wretched may fall by his strong ones. 11 He saith in his heart, •God hath forgotten, he hideth his face, he will never see it.

12 Arise, Jehovah; O •God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted.

10 ⸤His⸥ victims are crushed. 

They collapse, 

and they fall under ⸤the weight of⸥ his power. 

11 He says to himself, 

“God has forgotten. 

He has hidden his face. 

He will never see it!” 

12 Arise, O Lord! 

Lift your hand, O God. 

Do not forget oppressed people! 

10 So he is oppressed and beaten down;

the helpless fall because of his strength.

11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten;

He hides His face and will never see.”

12 Rise up, Lord God! Lift up Your hand.

Do not forget the afflicted.

10 They stoop, they crouch,

and the helpless fall by their might.

11 They think in their heart, “God has forgotten;

he has hidden his face; he will never see it.”

12 Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;

do not forget the oppressed.

10 He is crushed; he is bowed down;

so the helpless host falls by his might.

11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten.

He has hidden his face.

He never sees.”

12 Rise up, O Yahweh;

O God, lift up your hand.

Do not forget the afflicted.

10 Those they have attacked are beaten up. They fall to the ground.

They fall because their attackers are too strong for them.

11 Sinful people say to themselves, “God doesn’t pay any attention.

He covers his face. He never sees us.”

12 Lord, rise up! God, show your power!

Don’t forget those who are helpless.

10 He crouches, he bows down,

And the unfortunate fall by his mighty ones.

11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten;

He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”

12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Your hand.

Do not forget the afflicted.
