10:1: Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
10:2: The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
10:3: For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
10:4: The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
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.
10:6: He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
10:7: His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
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.
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.
10:10: He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
10:11: He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
10:12: Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
10:13: Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
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.
10:15: Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
10:16: The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
10:17: LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
10:18: To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
