| 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.
