Chapter 10

1


 

  Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?  

 

 

--

1


 

  Unto the end. A psalm for David.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.  

 

 

--

2


 

  In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: Get thee away from hence to the mountain like a sparrow?  

 

 

--

3


 

  For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.  

 

 

--

3


 

  For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.  

 

 

--

4


 

  The sinner hath provoked the Lord according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:  

 

 

--

4


 

  For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what has the just man done?  

 

 

--

5


 

  God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.  

 

 

--

5


 

  The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes look on the poor man: his eyelids examine the sons of men.  

 

 

--

6


 

  For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.  

 

 

--

6


 

  The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.  

 

 

--

7


 

  His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.  

 

 

--

7


 

  He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.  

 

 

--

8


 

  He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.  

 

 

--

8


 

  For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: his countenance hath beheld righteousness.  

 

 

--

9


 

  His eyes are upon the poor man: He lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.  

 

 

--

10


 

  In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.  

 

 

--

11


 

  For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face not to see to the end.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.  

 

 

--

14


 

  Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.  

 

 

--

16


 

  The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.  

 

 

--

17


 

  The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.  

 

 

--

18


 

  To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.
