1Why standest5975 thou afar off7350, O LORD3068? why hidest5956 thou thyself in times6256 of trouble6869?
2The wicked7563 in his pride1346 doth persecute1814 the poor6041: let them be taken8610 in the devices4209 that2098 they have imagined2803.
3For the wicked7563 boasteth1984 of his heart's5315 desire8378, and blesseth1288 the covetous1214, whom the LORD3068 abhorreth5006.
4The wicked7563, through the pride1363 of his countenance639, will not seek1875 after God: God430 is not in all his thoughts4209.
5His ways1870 are always6256 grievous2342; thy judgments4941 are far above4791 out of his sight: as for all his enemies6887, he puffeth6315 at them.
6He hath said559 in his heart3820, I shall not be moved4131: for I shall never1755 1755 be in adversity7451.
7His mouth6310 is full4390 of cursing423 and deceit4820 and fraud8496: under his tongue3956 is mischief5999 and vanity205.
8He sitteth3427 in the lurking places3993 of the villages2691: in the secret places4565 doth he murder2026 the innocent5355: his eyes5869 are privily set6845 against the poor2489.
9He lieth in wait693 secretly4565 as a lion738 in his den5520: he lieth in wait693 to catch2414 the poor6041: he doth catch2414 the poor6041, when he draweth4900 him into his net7568.
10He croucheth1794, and humbleth7817 himself, that the poor2426 2489 2489 may fall5307 by his strong ones6099.
11He hath said559 in his heart3820, God410 hath forgotten7911: he hideth5641 his face6440; he will never5331 see7200 it.
12Arise6965, O LORD3068; O God410, lift up5375 thine hand3027: forget7911 not the humble6035 6041.
13Wherefore doth the wicked7563 contemn5006 God430? he hath said559 in his heart3820, Thou wilt not require1875 it.
14Thou hast seen7200 it; for thou beholdest5027 mischief5999 and spite3708, to requite5414 it with thy hand3027: the poor2489 committeth5800 himself unto thee; thou art the helper5826 of the fatherless3490.
15Break7665 thou the arm2220 of the wicked7563 and the evil7451 man: seek out1875 his wickedness7562 till thou find4672 none1077.
16The LORD3068 is King4428 for ever5769 and ever5703: the heathen1471 are perished6 out of his land776.
17LORD3068, thou hast heard8085 the desire8378 of the humble6035: thou wilt prepare3559 their heart3820, thou wilt cause thine ear241 to hear7181:
18To judge8199 the fatherless3490 and the oppressed1790, that the man582 of the earth776 may no more3254 oppress6206.
