Psalm 10 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Psa 10:1

Psa 10:1Why do you keep far away, O Lord? why are you not to be seen in times of trouble?

Psa 10:2

Psa 10:2The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.

Psa 10:3

Psa 10:3For the evil-doer is lifted up because of the purpose of his heart, and he whose mind is fixed on wealth is turned away from the Lord, saying evil against him.

Psa 10:4

Psa 10:4The evil-doer in his pride says, God will not make a search. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

Psa 10:5

Psa 10:5His ways are ever fixed; your decisions are higher than he may see: as for his haters, they are as nothing to him.

Psa 10:6

Psa 10:6He has said in his heart, I will not be moved: through all generations I will never be in trouble.

Psa 10:7

Psa 10:7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and false words: under his tongue are evil purposes and dark thoughts.

Psa 10:8

Psa 10:8He is waiting in the dark places of the towns: in the secret places he puts to death those who have done no wrong: his eyes are secretly turned against the poor.

Psa 10:9

Psa 10:9He keeps himself in a secret place like a lion in his hole, waiting to put his hands on the poor man, and pulling him into his net.

Psa 10:10

Psa 10:10The upright are crushed and made low, and the feeble are overcome by his strong ones.

Psa 10:11

Psa 10:11He says in his heart, God has no memory of me: his face is turned away; he will never see it.

Psa 10:12

Psa 10:12Up! O Lord; let your hand be lifted: give thought to the poor.

Psa 10:13

Psa 10:13Why has the evil-doer a low opinion of God, saying in his heart, You will not make search for it?

Psa 10:14

Psa 10:14You have seen it; for your eyes are on sorrow and grief, to take it into your hand: the poor man puts his faith in you; you have been the helper of the child who has no father.

Psa 10:15

Psa 10:15Let the arm of the sinner and the evil-doer be broken; go on searching for his sin till there is no more.

Psa 10:16

Psa 10:16The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations are gone from his land.

Psa 10:17

Psa 10:17Lord, you have given ear to the prayer of the poor: you will make strong their hearts, you will give them a hearing:

Psa 10:18

Psa 10:18To give decision for the child without a father and for the broken-hearted, so that the man of the earth may no longer be feared.
