Verse
KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Why standest
thou
afar
off
, O
LORD
? why
hidest
thou thyself
in times of trouble?
Why, Jehovah,
dost
Thou
stand
at
a
distance
? Thou dost
hide
in times of adversity,
The wicked
in
his
pride doth
persecute
the poor :
let
them
be
taken
in the
devices that they have
imagined
.
Through
the pride of
the wicked,
Is
the
poor inflamed,
They
are
caught
in devices that they devised
.
For
the wicked boasteth
of his
heart's
desire, and blesseth
the
covetous
, whom
the
LORD
abhorreth
.
Because
the wicked hath
boasted
Of the
desire of
his
soul
, And a
dishonest
gainer
he
hath
blessed
, He
hath
despised
Jehovah
.
The wicked ,
through
the pride
of his countenance
, will
not seek
after
God:
God is not in
all his thoughts
.
The wicked according
to
the height
of his face
, inquireth
not .
`
God is not !'
`are'
all his devices
.
His ways are always
grievous;
thy judgments are
far
above
out
of
his
sight:
as
for
all his enemies,
he puffeth at them.
Pain
do
his ways at
all
times,
On
high
`
are '
Thy judgments before
him,
All his adversaries
--
he puffeth at them.
He hath said in his heart, I shall
not be
moved :
for
I
shall
never
be
in adversity
.
He hath said in his heart, `
I am
not moved ,'
To
generation
and
generation
not
in evil
.
His mouth is full of
cursing
and deceit
and fraud: under his tongue is mischief
and vanity.
Of
oaths
his mouth is full ,
And deceits,
and fraud: Under his tongue `
is '
perverseness
and iniquity,
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 doth
sit
in an
ambush
of the villages ,
In secret places he doth
slay
the innocent .
His eyes for
the afflicted
watch
secretly,
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 lieth in wait in
a
secret
place,
as a lion in a
covert.
He lieth in wait to catch the poor ,
He catcheth
the poor, drawing
him into his net.
He croucheth,
and
humbleth
himself
, that
the
poor
may
fall
by his strong
ones.
He is
bruised
--
he
boweth
down
, Fallen
by his mighty
ones hath
the
afflicted
.
He hath
said in his heart, God hath forgotten :
he hideth
his face ;
he will
never see
it
.
He said in his heart, `
God hath forgotten ,
He hath
hid
His face ,
He hath
never seen
. '
Arise, O LORD;
O God, lift up thine
hand :
forget not the humble.
Arise, O Jehovah!
O God, lift up Thy
hand !
Forget not the humble.
Wherefore doth
the wicked contemn
God? he hath said in his heart, Thou
wilt
not
require
it.
Wherefore hath
the wicked despised
God? He hath said in his heart, `
It is
not
required
. '
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.
Thou hast seen ,
For Thou perverseness
and anger
beholdest;
By
giving
into
Thy hand ,
On
Thee doth
the afflicted
leave
`it',
Of the fatherless Thou
hast
been
an
helper
.
Break thou
the arm of the wicked and the evil man:
seek out his wickedness till
thou
find none .
Break the arm of the wicked and the evil ,
Seek out his wickedness ,
find none ;
The
LORD
is King for
ever
and ever :
the heathen
are
perished out of his land .
Jehovah
`
is '
king to
the
age,
and for
ever ,
The nations
have
perished out of His land !
LORD,
thou
hast
heard
the desire of the humble :
thou wilt
prepare
their heart ,
thou wilt
cause
thine ear to hear:
The desire of the humble Thou hast
heard,
O
Jehovah.
Thou
preparest
their heart ;
Thou causest
Thine ear to attend,
To judge the fatherless and the
oppressed,
that
the
man of the earth may
no
more
oppress.
To judge the fatherless and bruised:
He
addeth
no
more
to
oppress
--
man of the earth !
