Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Psalm ten. Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why
- 0:08Speaker 1: do you hide yourself in times of trouble? In arrogance,
- 0:11Speaker 1: the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in
- 0:14Speaker 1: the schemes that they devise. For the wicked boast of
- 0:17Speaker 1: his heart's cravings, he blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.
- 0:22Speaker 1: The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no
- 0:24Speaker 1: room in his thoughts for God. His ways are prosperous.
- 0:28Speaker 1: At all times. He is haughty, and your laws are
- 0:31Speaker 1: far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he
- 0:35Speaker 1: sneers at them. He says in his heart, I shall
- 0:38Speaker 1: not be shaken. For generations, I shall have no trouble.
- 0:42Speaker 1: His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under
- 0:46Speaker 1: his tongue is mischief and iniquity. He lies in wait
- 0:49Speaker 1: near the villages from ambushes. He murders the innocent. His
- 0:53Speaker 1: eyes are secretly set against the helpless. He lurks in
- 0:57Speaker 1: secret as a lion. In his ambush. He lies in
- 1:00Speaker 1: wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when
- 1:03Speaker 1: he draws him in his net. The helpless are crushed.
- 1:07Speaker 1: They collapse, They fall under his strength. He says in
- 1:10Speaker 1: his heart, God has forgotten. He hides his face. He
- 1:14Speaker 1: will never see it arise. Yahweh, God, lift up your hand.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Don't forget the helpless. Why does the wicked condemn God
- 1:23Speaker 1: and say in his heart? God won't call me into account.
- 1:27Speaker 1: But you do see trouble in grief. You consider it
- 1:30Speaker 1: to take it into your hand. You help the victim
- 1:33Speaker 1: and the fatherless. Break the arm of the wicked. As
- 1:37Speaker 1: for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you
- 1:40Speaker 1: find none. Yahweh is king forever and ever. The nations
- 1:44Speaker 1: will perish out of his land. Yahweh, you have heard
- 1:47Speaker 1: the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart.
- 1:51Speaker 1: You will cause your ear to hear, to judge the
- 1:54Speaker 1: fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the
- 1:57Speaker 1: earth may terrify no more.
