Chapter 10

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 thy hand: forget not the humble.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Why 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 to 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 shalt find none.  

 

 

-

16


 

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

 

 

-

17


 

  LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to hear:  

 

 

-

18


 

  To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
