  • 1. Why, Jehovah, standest thou afar off? [Why] hidest thou thyself in times of distress?
  • 2. The wicked, in his pride, doth hotly pursue the afflicted. They shall be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
  • 3. For the wicked boasteth of his soul's desire, and he blesseth the covetous; he contemneth Jehovah.
  • 4. The wicked [saith], in the haughtiness of his countenance, He doth not search out: all his thoughts are, There is no God!
  • 5. His ways always succeed; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; [as for] all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
  • 6. He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation I shall be in no adversity.
  • 7. His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
  • 8. He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in the secret places doth he slay the innocent: his eyes watch for the wretched.
  • 9. He lieth in wait secretly, like a lion in his thicket; he lieth in wait to catch the afflicted: he doth catch the afflicted, drawing him into his net.
  • 10. He croucheth, he boweth down, that the wretched may fall by his strong ones.
  • 11. He saith in his heart, �God hath forgotten, he hideth his face, he will never see [it].
  • 12. Arise, Jehovah; O �God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted.
  • 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 thyself beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite by thy hand. The wretched committeth himself unto thee; thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
  • 15. Break thou the arm of the wicked, and as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none.
  • 16. Jehovah is King for ever and ever: the nations have perished out of his land.
  • 17. Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek, thou hast established their heart: thou causest thine ear to hear,
  • 18. To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed one, that the man of the earth may terrify no more.
