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