Ps10..1 Why do You stand afar off,
O LORD? Why do You
hide in times of trouble?
2 The wicked in his
pride persecutes the poor;
Let them be caught in the
plots which they have devised.
3 For the wicked boasts of
his heart's desire; He
blesses the greedy and
renounces the LORD.
4 The wicked in his proud
countenance does not seek
GOD; GOD is in none of
his thoughts.
5 His ways are always
prospering; Your judgments
are far above, out of
his sight; As for all
his enemies, he sneers at
them.
6 He has said in his
heart, "I shall not be moved;
I shall never be in
adversity."
7 His mouth is full of
cursing and deceit and
oppression; Under his tongue
is trouble and
iniquity.
8 He sits in the lurking
places of the villages;
In the secret places he
murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed
on the helpless.
9 He lies in wait secretly,
as a lion in his den;
He lies in wait to catch the
poor; He catches the poor
when he draws him into his
net.

10 So he crouches, he lies
low, That the helpless may
fall by his strength.
11 He has said in his heart,
"GOD has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see."
12 Arise, O LORD!
O GOD, lift up Your hand!
Do not forget the humble.
13 Why do the wicked renounce
GOD? He has said in his heart,
"You will not require an account."
14 But You have seen, for You
observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your
hand. The helpless commits
himself to You;
You are the helper of the
fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the
wicked and the evil man;
Seek out his wickedness
until You find none.
16 The LORD is King
forever and ever; The nations
have perished out of His land.
17 LORD, You have heard the
desire of the humble;
You will prepare their heart;
You will cause Your ear to
hear,
18 To do justice to the
fatherless and the oppressed,
That the man of the earth may
oppress no more.
