Why standest
thou afar off,
O LORD?
why hidest
thou thyself in times
of trouble?
The wicked
in his pride
doth persecute
the poor:
let them be taken
in the devices
that
they have imagined.

For the wicked
boasteth
of his heart's
desire,
and blesseth
the covetous,
whom the LORD
abhorreth.
The wicked,
through the pride
of his countenance,
will not seek
after God: God
is not in all his thoughts.
His ways
are always
grievous;
thy judgments
are far above
out of his sight: as for all his enemies,
he puffeth
at them.
take away from the opposite sides of an account

He hath said
in his heart,
I shall not be moved:
for I shall never
be in adversity.
His mouth
is full
of cursing
and deceit
and fraud:
under his tongue
is mischief
and vanity.
He sitteth
in the lurking places
of the villages:
in the secret places
doth he murder
the innocent:
his eyes
are privily set
against the poor.
He lieth in wait
secretly
as a lion
in his den:
he lieth in wait
to catch
the poor:
he doth catch
the poor,
when he draweth
him into his net.
He croucheth,
and humbleth
himself, that the poor
may fall
by his strong ones.
He hath said
in his heart,
God
hath forgotten:
he hideth
his face;
he will never
see
it.
Arise,
O LORD;
O God,
lift up
thine hand:
forget
not the humble.
Wherefore doth the wicked
contemn
God?
he hath said
in his heart,
Thou wilt not require
it.
Thou hast seen
it; for thou beholdest
mischief
and spite,
to requite
it with thy hand:
the poor
committeth
himself unto thee; thou art the helper
of the fatherless.
Break
thou the arm
of the wicked
and the evil
man: seek out
his wickedness
till thou find
none.
The LORD
is King
for ever
and ever:
the heathen
are perished
out of his land.
LORD,
thou hast heard
the desire
of the humble:
thou wilt prepare
their heart,
thou wilt cause thine ear
to hear:
To judge
the fatherless
and the oppressed,
that the man
of the earth
may no more
oppress.
