span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.10.1" class="versetxt"> 1 主よ、なにゆえ遠く離れて立たれるのですか。なにゆえ悩みの時に身を隠されるのですか。2 悪しき者は高ぶって貧しい者を激しく責めます。どうぞ彼らがその企てたはかりごとにみずから捕えられますように。3 悪しき者は自分の心の願いを誇り、むさぼる者は主をのろい、かつ捨てる。4 悪しき者は誇り顔をして、神を求めない。その思いに、すべて「神はない」という。5 彼の道は常に栄え、あなたのさばきは彼を離れて高く、彼はそのすべてのあだを口先で吹く。6 彼は心の内に言う、「わたしは動かされることはなく、世々わざわいにあうことがない」と。7 その口はのろいと、欺きと、しえたげとに満ち、その舌の下には害毒と不正とがある。8 彼は村里の隠れ場におり、忍びやかな所で罪のない者を殺す。その目は寄るべなき者をうかがい、9 隠れ場にひそむししのように、ひそかに待ち伏せする。彼は貧しい者を捕えようと待ち伏せし、貧しい者を網にひきいれて捕える。10 寄るべなき者は彼の力によって打ちくじかれ、衰え、倒れる。11 彼は心のうちに言う、「神は忘れた、神はその顔を隠した、神は絶えて見ることはなかろう」と。12 主よ、立ちあがってください。神よ、み手をあげてください。苦しむ者を忘れないでください。13 なにゆえ、悪しき者は神を侮り、心のうちに「あなたはとがめることをしない」と言うのですか。14 あなたはみそなわし、悩みと苦しみとを見て、それをみ手に取られます。寄るべなき者はあなたに身をゆだねるのです。あなたはいつもみなしごを助けられました。15 悪しき者と悪を行う者の腕を折り、その悪を一つも残さないまでに探り出してください。16 主はとこしえに王でいらせられる。もろもろの国民は滅びて主の国から跡を断つでしょう。17 主よ、あなたは柔和な者の願いを聞き、その心を強くし、耳を傾けて、18 みなしごと、しえたげられる者とのためにさばきを行われます。地に属する人は再び人を脅かすことはないでしょう。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man],.... His power and strength, so that he shall not be able to hold the sword, to strike a blow, or do any hurt to the people of God; see Ezekiel 30:21. This prayer is in some measure already fulfilled in antichrist, the man of sin, or pope of Rome; though his kingdom is not broke to pieces; as it will be when Christ's kingdom shall be more visibly set up, to which reference is had in Psalms 10:16; see Daniel 2:44; yet his strength is weakened, his arm is broken, he has not the power he had, nor can he tyrannise and do the mischief he once did: "but as [for] the evil man" m, for so the words should be read, there being an "athnach" under the word "wicked", which ends the proposition there:

seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none; which designs a thorough search after sin, full punishment of it, and the entire ruin and destruction of the wicked; and the sense is, that God would make a strict inquiry into the wickedness of the man of sin, which he promised himself he would not, Psalms 10:13; and that he would punish him and his followers to the uttermost for it, until there should not be one of the antichristian party found upon earth; with which sense agrees

Psalms 10:16; see Psalms 104:35.

m ורע "improbum quod attinet, requiras", c. Gejerus so Michaelis.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Break thou the arm of the wicked - The arm is the instrument by which we effect a purpose, and especially in wielding a sword or a spear, as in battle; and if the arm is broken, we are powerless. The psalmist, therefore, prays that God would render the wicked, in this respect, powerless.

And the evil man - Of all the evil, or the wicked. In regard to the prayer here, see the note at Psalms 5:10.

Seek out his wickedness until thou find none - Until it is all punished; until there has been a full recompense. This is a wish that no wicked act of his should be forgotten; that exact justice should be rendered. If it is right to punish the wicked at all, it is right to deal with them just as they deserve; if any wickedness may properly be punished, all may be; and, whatever may occur, the sinner may be assured that he will not be punished merely for a part of his sins. If God punishes the wicked at all, there will be nothing left unpunished.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 10:15. Break thou the arm — Destroy his power, deprive him of his influence, that he may be no longer able to oppress.

Seek out his wickedness till thou find none. — All his public haunts and private ways shall be investigated; thou wilt bring all his villanies to light, and continue to inflict punishment, while there is a crime to punish. Or, "Continue to judge and punish transgressors, till not one is to be found." This agrees with the following verse.
