Psalms 10
- 1 Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
- 2 In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
- 3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, And the covetous renounceth, yea, contemneth Jehovah.
- 4 The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith, He will not requireit. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
- 5 His ways are firm at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
- 6 He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; To all generations I shall not be in adversity.
- 7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression: Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
- 8 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 helpless.
- 9 He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.
- 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.
- 13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not requireit?
- 14 Thou hast seenit; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth himself unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
- 15 Break thou the arm of the wicked; And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
- 16 Jehovah is King for ever and ever: The nations are perished out of his land.
- 17 Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;
- 18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8
