^{1 Ref} Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,

^{2 Ref} Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.

^{3 Ref} Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.

^{4 Ref} The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. `God is not!' `are' all his devices.

^{5 Ref} Pain do his ways at all times, On high `are' Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries -- he puffeth at them.

^{6 Ref} He hath said in his heart, `I am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil.

^{7 Ref} Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue `is' perverseness and iniquity,

^{8 Ref} He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,

^{9 Ref} He lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.

^{10 Ref} He is bruised -- he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.

^{11 Ref} He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'

^{13 Ref} Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in his heart, `It is not required.'

^{14 Ref} Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave `it', Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.

^{16 Ref} Jehovah `is' king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!

^{17 Ref} The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,

^{18 Ref} To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress -- man of the earth!

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

^{2 Ref} The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

^{3 Ref} For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

^{4 Ref} The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

^{8 Ref} 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 Ref} 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 Ref} He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

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

^{12 Ref} Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

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

^{14 Ref} 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 Ref} Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

^{18 Ref} To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

^{1 Ref} Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

^{2 Ref} In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.

^{3 Ref} For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, And the covetous renounceth, `yea', contemneth Jehovah.

^{4 Ref} The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, `saith', He will not require `it'. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
