  • 1. Why standest thou farre off, O Lorde, and hidest thee in due time, euen in afflictio?
  • 2. The wicked with pride doeth persecute the poore: let them be taken in the craftes that they haue imagined.
  • 3. For the wicked hath made boast of his owne heartes desire, and the couetous blesseth himselfe: he contemneth the Lord.
  • 4. The wicked is so proude that hee seeketh not for God: hee thinketh alwayes, There is no God.
  • 5. His wayes alway prosper: thy iudgements are hie aboue his sight: therefore defieth he all his enemies.
  • 6. He saith in his heart, I shall neuer be moued, nor be in danger.
  • 7. His mouth is full of cursing and deceite and fraude: vnder his tongue is mischiefe and iniquitie.
  • 8. He lieth in waite in the villages: in the secret places doeth hee murther the innocent: his eyes are bent against the poore.
  • 9. He lyeth in waite secretly, euen as a lyon in his denne: he lyeth in waite to spoyle the poore: he doeth spoyle the poore, when he draweth him into his net.
  • 10. He croucheth and boweth: therefore heaps of the poore doe fall by his might.
  • 11. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth away his face, and will neuer see.
  • 12. Arise, O Lorde God: lift vp thine hande: forget not the poore.
  • 13. Wherefore doeth the wicked contemne God? he saith in his heart, Thou wilt not regard.
  • 14. Yet thou hast seene it: for thou beholdest mischiefe and wrong, that thou mayest take it into thine handes: the poore committeth himselfe vnto thee: for thou art the helper of the fatherlesse.
  • 15. Breake thou the arme of the wicked and malicious: searche his wickednes, and thou shalt finde none.
  • 16. The Lorde is King for euer and euer: the heathen are destroyed foorth of his land.
  • 17. Lorde, thou hast heard the desire of the poore: thou preparest their heart: thou bendest thine eare to them,
  • 18. To iudge the fatherlesse and poore, that earthly man cause to feare no more.
