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