PS-10:1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou

[thyself] in

times of trouble?

PS-10:2 The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let

them be taken

in the devices that they have imagined.

PS-10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and

blesseth the

covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.

PS-10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will

not seek [after

God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts.

PS-10:5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far

above out of his

sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

PS-10:6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I

shall] never

[be] in adversity.

PS-10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under

his tongue

[is] mischief and vanity.

PS-10:8 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.

PS-10:9 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.

PS-10:10 He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may

fall by his

strong ones.

PS-10:11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he

hideth his face; he

will never see [it].

PS-10:12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not

the humble.

PS-10:13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in

his heart,

Thou wilt not require [it].

PS-10:14 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.

PS-10:15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man]:

seek out his

wickedness [till] thou find none.

PS-10:16 The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are

perished out of

his land.

PS-10:17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou

wilt prepare

their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

PS-10:18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man

of the earth

may no more oppress.
