- 1Why do you stand far off, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
- 2The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor; let them be taken in the schemes that they have devised.
- 3For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors.
- 4The wicked, through the pride of his face, will not seek after God; God is not in all his thoughts.
- 5His ways are always grievous; your judgments are far above, out of his sight; as for all his enemies, he puffs at them.
- 6He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved; for I shall never be in adversity.
- 7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud; under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
- 8He sits in the lurking places of the villages; in the secret places he murders the innocent; his eyes are secretly set against the poor.
- 9He lies in wait secretly like a lion in his den; he lies in wait to catch the poor; he catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
- 10He crouches and humbles himself, so that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
- 11He has said in his heart, God has forgotten; he hides his face; he will never see it.
- 12Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand; do not forget the humble.
- 13Why does the wicked despise God? He has said in his heart, "You will not require it."
- 14You have seen it, for you see mischief and spite, to repay it with your hand. The poor commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
- 15Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man; seek out his wickedness until you find none.
- 16The LORD is King forever and ever; the heathen have perished out of his land.
- 17LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble; you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear,
- 18to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
