Targum su Salmi 10:78

Why, O LORD, will you stand afar off, hide yourself in the dwelling of the holy ones in the times of distress?

In brutality³⁶pride the wicked man will pursue the poor man; they will be caught in the scheme³⁷folly that they plotted to carry out.

For the wicked man is praised for the craving of his soul; he who blesses the violent man abhors the word of the LORD.

The wicked man in the grossness of his spirit will not seek God, and he will say in his heart that his thoughts are not manifest in the presence of the LORD.

His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are far from his sight; he will rebuke all his oppressors.

He will say in his heart, “I will not be shaken from doing evil for all generations.”

His mouth is curses, full of guile and deceit; under his tongue is misery and falsehood.

He will sit in the hiding places of the courtyards; in secret places he will kill the innocent; he will hide his eyes against the poor.

He will lie in wait in secret places like a lion in his covert; he will lie in wait to seize the poor man; he will seize the poor man when he is drawn into his trap.

The poor man will be crushed, and sink down, and he will fall into the power of his hiding places.

He will say in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he does not see forever.”

Arise, O LORD³⁸+ our God, fulfill the oath of your hand, do not forget the humble.

Why has the wicked man abhorred God? He will say³⁹Tg יימר suggests Heb יאמר. in his heart, “It will not be sought after.”⁴⁰"You will not seek."

It is manifest in your presence, because you will inflict misery and wrath upon the wicked man; look carefully to pay a good reward to the righteous by your hand; the poor will place their hope on you; you have been a helper to the orphan.

Break the arm of the wicked; and let the evil seek their wickedness, [and] not find it.

The LORD is king forever and ever; the Gentiles have perished⁴¹will perish from his land.

The desire of the humble is heard in your presence, O LORD; strengthen their heart, incline your ear⁴²+ to their prayer .

To judge the orphan and poor man; may the sons of men not again be shattered before the wicked of the earth.
