Why, O LORD, do you stand afar off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? |
2
|
In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. |
3
|
For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the LORD. |
4
|
In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, "There is no God." |
5
|
His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them. |
6
|
He says in his heart, "I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity." |
7
|
His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity. |
8
|
He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless; |
9
|
he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net. |
10
|
The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might. |
11
|
He says in his heart, "God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it." |
12
|
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted. |
13
|
Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, "You will not call to account"? |
14
|
But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into your hands; to you the helpless commits himself; you have been the helper of the fatherless. |
15
|
Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till you find none. |
16
|
The LORD is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land. |
17
|
O LORD, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear |
18
|
to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more. |
