13Have pity on me, O Lord; *
see the misery I suffer from those who hate me,
O you who lift me up from the gate of death;
14So that I may tell of all your praises and rejoice in your salvation *
in the gates of the city of Zion.
15The ungodly have fallen into the pit they dug, *
and in the snare they set is their own foot caught.
16The Lord is known by his acts of justice; *
the wicked are trapped in the works of their own hands.
17The wicked shall be given over to the grave, *
and also all the peoples that forget God.
18For the needy shall not always be forgotten, *
and the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19Rise up, O Lord, let not the ungodly have the upper hand; *
let them be judged before you.
20Put fear upon them, O Lord; *
let the ungodly know they are but mortal.
10Ut quid, Domine?
1Why do you stand so far off, O Lord, *
and hide yourself in time of trouble?
2The wicked arrogantly persecute the poor, *
but they are trapped in the schemes they have devised.
3The wicked boast of their heart’s desire; *
the covetous curse and revile the Lord.
4The wicked are so proud that they care not for God; *
their only thought is, “God does not matter.”
594Psalm 10
