King James Version
Why do
you
stand
far
off, Yahweh
? Why do
you
hide
yourself
in times of trouble?
Why standest
thou
afar
off, O
LORD
? why hidest
thou
thyself
in times of trouble?
In
arrogance,
the wicked hunt
down
the weak;
They
are
caught
in the schemes
that they devise
.
The wicked in
his
pride
doth
persecute
the poor:
let
them
be
taken
in the devices
that they have
imagined
.
For the wicked boasts
of his heart's cravings
, He
blesses
the greedy
, and
condemns
Yahweh
.
For the wicked boasteth
of his heart's desire
, and
blesseth
the covetous
, whom
the
LORD
abhorreth
.
The wicked, in
the pride of his face
, Has
no
room
in his thoughts for
God
.
The wicked, through
the pride of his countenance
, will
not
seek
after
God:
God
is
not
in all
his thoughts.
His ways are prosperous
at
all
times
; He
is
haughty,
and
your
laws
are far from
his sight: As for all his adversaries
, he sneers
at them.
His ways are always
grievous
; thy
judgments
are far above
out
of
his sight: as for all his enemies
, he puffeth
at them.
He says
in his heart, "
I shall not be shaken;
For generations
I shall have
no
trouble
. "
He hath
said
in his heart, I shall not be moved:
for I shall never
be
in
adversity
.
His mouth is full of cursing ,
deceit ,
and oppression.
Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity
.
His mouth is full of cursing and
deceit and fraud:
under his tongue is mischief and vanity
.
He lies
in wait
near
the villages .
From
ambushes,
he murders
the innocent .
His eyes are secretly
set against the helpless
.
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 lurks
in secret
as a lion in his ambush.
He lies
in wait to catch the helpless.
He catches
the helpless
, when he draws
him in
his net.
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.
The
helpless
are
crushed
, they
collapse
, They
fall under
his strength
.
He
croucheth
, and
humbleth
himself
, that
the
poor
may
fall by
his strong
ones
.
He says
in his heart, "
God has
forgotten .
He hides
his face .
He will never see it. "
He hath
said
in his heart, God hath
forgotten :
he hideth
his face ;
he will never see it.
Arise, Yahweh!
God, lift up your
hand !
Don't
forget the helpless
.
Arise, O
LORD;
O
God, lift up thine
hand :
forget not
the humble
.
Why
does
the wicked person
condemn
God ,
And
say
in his heart, "God
won't
call
me
into
account?"
Wherefore
doth
the wicked contemn
God ?
he
hath
said
in his heart, Thou
wilt
not
require
it.
But
you
do
see
trouble
and
grief;
You
consider
it to take
it into
your
hand .
You
help
the victim
and
the fatherless.
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.
Break the arm of the wicked .
As
for
the evil man ,
seek out his wickedness until
you
find none.
Break thou
the arm of the wicked and
the evil man :
seek out his wickedness till
thou
find none.
Yahweh
is King forever
and ever !
The nations
will
perish
out of his land.
The
LORD
is King for
ever
and ever :
the heathen
are
perished
out of his land.
Yahweh
, you
have
heard the desire of the humble .
You
will
prepare their heart .
You
will
cause your
ear to hear ,
LORD
, thou
hast
heard the desire of the humble :
thou
wilt
prepare their heart ,
thou
wilt
cause thine
ear to hear :
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who
is
of the earth may terrify
no more.
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the
man of the earth may no more oppress
.
