The Book of Psalms
10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in
times of trouble?
10:2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be
taken in the devices that they have imagined.
10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the
covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek
after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
10:5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of
his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall
never be in adversity.
10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his
tongue is mischief and vanity.
10:8 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.
10:9 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.
10:10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by
his strong ones.
10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his
face; he will never see it.
10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his
heart, Thou wilt not require it.
10:14 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.
10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his
wickedness till thou find none.
10:16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out
of his land.
10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt
prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the
earth may no more oppress.
