Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 10

O Lord, sometimes it feels as though You are far away,
but I know You are always near.

You see the struggles of the weary,
and You hear the cries of the brokenhearted.

Though there are those who choose selfishness,
forgetting Your ways of love,
You, O Lord, are ever faithful.

You see every act of kindness,
and You strengthen those who trust in You.

You are a defender of the helpless,
a shelter for those in need.

You lift up the humble
and bring peace to those who seek You.

O Lord, You hear the prayers of the faithful,
You bring comfort to the troubled heart.

You will always be near to those who trust in You,
for You are the everlasting God,
full of love and mercy.
