Psalms Chapter 10
Why you chillin' way up there, God? Why you ghost when things get tough?
Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? {why} hidest thou {thyself} in times of trouble?
The wicked are all about that pride, flexing on the less fortunate: they gonna end up trapped in their own sus setups.
The wicked in {his} pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. {The wicked...: Heb. In the pride of the wicked he doth persecute}
The evil be boasting about their heart's cravings, vibing with the greedy, whom God can't vibe with.
For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, {whom} the LORD abhorreth. {heart's: Heb. soul's} {blesseth...: or, the covetous blesseth himself, he abhorreth the LORD}
The wicked, full of themselves, ain't even considering God: He’s not even on their radar.
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek {after God}: God {is} not in all his thoughts. {God is...: or, all his thoughts are, There is no God}
Their vibes are always a disaster; your judgments are way too high for them: they just look down on their foes.
His ways are always grievous; thy judgments {are} far above out of his sight: {as for} all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
They be like, "I ain’t budging; I’ll never hit a rough patch."
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for {I shall} never {be} in adversity. {never: Heb. unto generation and generation}
Their mouths are loaded with cursing and lies: beneath it all, it’s just chaos and emptiness.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue {is} mischief and vanity. {deceit: Heb. deceits} {vanity: or, iniquity}
They be lurking in the neighborhood, scheming against the innocent: their eyes are set on the poor, lowkey.
He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. {are...: Heb. hide themselves}
They wait in the shadows like a lion ready to pounce: just itching to trap the poor.
He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. {secretly: Heb. in the secret places}
They sit lowkey, playing humble, so the poor fall for their strong game.
He croucheth, {and} humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. {He...: Heb. He breaketh himself} {by...: or, into his strong parts}
They think to themselves, "God forgot about me; He ain't ever gonna peep this."
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see {it}.
Step up, God; raise your hand: don’t forget the humble, for real.
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. {humble: or, afflicted}
Why do the wicked disrespect God? They think within, "You ain’t gonna check me."
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require {it}.
You’ve witnessed everything; you see the chaos and hate, ready to act: the poor trust you; you’re the GOAT for the fatherless.
Thou hast seen {it}; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite {it} with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. {committeth: Heb. leaveth}
Break the arm of the wicked and the evil dude: hunt down those bad vibes till there’s none remaining.
Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil {man}: seek out his wickedness {till} thou find none.
The Lord reigns forever: the haters are out of the scene.
The LORD {is} King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
God, you caught the humble’s wishes: you’re about to prep their hearts and open your ears.
LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: {prepare: or, establish}
To bring justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so no one on earth can oppress anymore.
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. {oppress: or, terrify}
