¹ Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

² The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. [#*]

³ For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. [#†] [#‡]

⁴ The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. [#§]

⁵ His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

⁶ He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. [#**]

⁷ His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. [#††] [#‡‡]

⁸ 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. [#§§]

⁹ 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. [#***]

¹⁰ He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. [#†††] [#‡‡‡]

¹¹ He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

¹² Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. [#§§§]

¹³ Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

¹⁴ 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. [#*]

¹⁵ Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

¹⁶ The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

¹⁷ LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: [#†]

¹⁸ To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. [#‡]
