詩編 10:5

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

His ways are always grievous,.... To God and to his people; or, "his ways cause terror" a, so Aben Ezra; make men fear; as antichrist has made the whole world tremble at him, Revelation 13:4; or, "his ways are defiled", as the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin render it; for to him is nothing pure, his mind and conscience being defiled, Titus 1:15; or, "his ways always remain" b; they are always the same, there is no change in them for the better: or they "prosper" c as Jarchi interprets it; and this is sometimes stumbling to the saints,

Jeremiah 12:1;

thy judgments [are] far above, out of his sight: meaning either the laws, statutes, and commandments of God, which are not taken notice of by him; but his own decrees or orders are set in the room of them; or the examples of punishment inflicted on wicked men, as on the old world, on Sodom and Gomorrah, the Egyptians, and other nations; these are not regarded, when they should be a terror to him;

[as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them; who are the poor saints, and are looked upon by antichrist as feeble creatures, and all their efforts against him and his kingdom are treated with contempt: he blows upon them, and suggests that he can cause them to fall with the breath of his mouth, or strike them down with a straw or a feather; see

Psalms 12:6.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

His ways are always grievous - His paths; his manner of life; his conduct toward God; his dealings with men. The word rendered “are grievious,” יחילוּ yāchiylû - has been variously rendered. The Latin Vulgate renders it, “His ways are defiled.” So the Septuagint. Coverdale renders it, “His ways are always filthy.” Prof. Alexander, “His ways are firm.” So DeWette, “Es gelingen seine Wege.” Horsley, “His ways are confident.” This variety in the interpretation arises from the ambiguity of the original word - חול chûl. The meaning of this word, as given by Genesius, is to turn round, to twist, to whirl; and hence:

(1) to dance;

(2) to be whirled, or twisted upon anything;

(3) to twist oneself with pain, or to be in pain;

(4) to bear or bring forth;

(5) to tremble, to quake;

(6) to be strong or stable, as things twisted are.

Hence, he translates this passage, “his ways are firm, or stable, that is, all his affairs prosper.” But it seems to me plain that this is not the idea in the mind of the psalmist. He is not dwelling on the prosperity of the wicked, or on the result of his conduct, but on his character. In the previous verses he had stated some of the traits in his character, and the subsequent verses continue the description; hence, it is natural that we should expect to find some special feature of his character referred to here, and not that there should be an allusion to the stability of his affairs. It seems to me, therefore, that the exact idea here is, that his ways, or his modes of feelling and conduct were always perverse and forced, and hard; that there was always something tortuous and unnatural about him; that he was not straightforward and honest; that he did not see things as they are, and did not act in a plain and upright manner.

Thy judgments - Thy laws; or, the principles of thy govermnent.

Are far above out of his sight - They are out of the range of his vision. He does not see them. His thoughts grovel on the earth, and he is never elevated in his views so as to see the great principles of truth.

As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them - He treats them with contempt and scorn, as if he had no fear of them, or as if he were entirely confident of his own ability to overcome them. This is an illustration of his pride and self-confidence, for it is the characteristic of the proud and self-confident to boast in this manner. The word rendered “puffeth” means to breathe, to blow; and the idea here is, that he acted as though he could sweep them away with a breath.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 10:5. His ways are always grievous — Or, He is travailing in pain to bring forth iniquity at all times. He is full of lust, or irregular and unholy desires; he conceives and brings forth sin; and sin being finished, time, place, and opportunity concurring, death is soon brought forth.

Thy judgments are far above out of his sight — He is so blinded with sin, that he cannot see the operations of God's hand.

He puffeth at them. — He whistles at them; insults God, and despises men. He overthrows them with his breath; he has only to give orders, and they are destroyed. "Bring me the head of Giaffer," said an Asiatic despot. The head was immediately brought! No trial, no judge, no jury; but the despot's will and caprice.
