Why are you so far away, O LORD? Why do you hide yourself when we are in trouble? |
2
|
The wicked are proud and persecute the poor; catch them in the traps they have made. |
3
|
The wicked are proud of their evil desires; the greedy curse and reject the LORD. |
4
|
The wicked do not care about the LORD; in their pride they think that God doesn't matter. |
5
|
The wicked succeed in everything. They cannot understand God's judgments; they sneer at their enemies. |
6
|
They say to themselves, "We will never fail; we will never be in trouble." |
7
|
Their speech is filled with curses, lies, and threats; they are quick to speak hateful, evil words. |
8
|
They hide themselves in the villages, waiting to murder innocent people. They spy on their helpless victims; |
9
|
they wait in their hiding place like lions. They lie in wait for the poor; they catch them in their traps and drag them away. |
10
|
The helpless victims lie crushed; brute strength has defeated them. |
11
|
The wicked say to themselves, "God doesn't care! He has closed his eyes and will never see me!" |
12
|
O LORD, punish those wicked people! Remember those who are suffering! |
13
|
How can the wicked despise God and say to themselves, "He will not punish me"? |
14
|
But you do see; you take notice of trouble and suffering and are always ready to help. The helpless commit themselves to you; you have always helped the needy. |
15
|
Break the power of wicked and evil people; punish them for the wrong they have done until they do it no more. |
16
|
The LORD is king forever and ever. Those who worship other gods will vanish from his land. |
17
|
You will listen, O LORD, to the prayers of the lowly; you will give them courage. |
18
|
You will hear the cries of the oppressed and the orphans; you will judge in their favor, so that mortal men may cause terror no more. |
