Psalm 10, Paraphrase

Lyrics and music by Shane Heilman (lyrics with chords)

 

  1. Why do You stand so far away, Yahweh?

    2. Why do You hide Yourself in troubled times?

  2. For the wicked in their pride oppress and rob the poor

    3. Let them be caught in the schemes they have devised

  3. For the wicked boast about their hearts' desire

    4. They celebrate greed and reject the LORD

  4. For the wicked in their pride refuse to seek Him

    5. All of their thoughts are, "There is no God"

  5. And his ways seem to prosper all the time

    6. Your judgments are too high, they're out of his sight

    As for his enemies, he laughs at them

  6. Says to himself, "I will always be rich"

  7. And his mouth is full of lies

    8. He makes promises, but under his tongue he hides his intentions

  8. And he lurks in the shadows watching for a means of gain

    9. And where no one can see, he kills the innocent

  9. And like a lion lurking in his lair

    10. He pounces on the helpless when they fall into his trap

  10. And his claws sink into his prey

  11. He says to himself that God has forgotten, He's hidden His face, he will never see it, no no

  12. Arise, arise O LORD

    13. Arise, arise!

    Arise, O LORD, lift up Your hand, O God

    Do not forget the oppressed

  13. Why have the wicked spurned God?

    14. They have said to themselves You will not avenge

  14. But You will avenge, You've seen the injustice, You've seen the suffering

    15. Of the lowly, who place their fate in Your hands

    For You have always been the helper of the orphan

  15. O, break the arm of the wicked

    16. Seek out their wickedness until You find no more

    Seek out their wickedness until You find no more

    Seek and destroy! Seek and destroy their evil!

    Seek and destroy! Seek and destroy injustice!

  16. Yahweh is king forever, Yahweh is king forever

    17. Yahweh is king forever, Yahweh is king forever

    Yahweh is king forever, His enemies come and go

  17. LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble

    18. You will strengthen their heart, and You will incline Your ear

  18. It's justice for the orphan and the oppressed so that man who is of the earth

    19. So that man who is of the earth

    So that man who is of the earth

    So that man who is of the earth

    Shall no longer oppress

    Shall no longer oppress

    Shall no longer oppress

    Lift up Your hand, lift up Your hand
