10 Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,

Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.

Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.

The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. `God is not!' [are] all his devices.

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 am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil.

Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,

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 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.

10 He is bruised -- he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.

11 He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'

12 Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.

13 Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in his heart, `It is not required.'

14 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.

15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;

16 Jehovah [is] king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!

17 The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,

18 To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress -- man of the earth!

11 To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, `They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird?

For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous -- what hath he done?

`Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah -- in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see -- His eyelids try the sons of men.

Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,

He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.

For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'

12 To the Overseer, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. Save, Jehovah, for the saintly hath failed, For the stedfast have ceased From the sons of men:

Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.

Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great things,

Who said, `By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips [are] our own; who [is] lord over us?'

Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety [him who] doth breathe for it.

Sayings of Jehovah [are] pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold.

Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age.

Around the wicked walk continually, According as vileness is exalted by sons of men!
