Psalms:10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Why standest thou afar off ,
O LORD ?
why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble ?
*
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor :
let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined .
*
For the wicked boasteth of his hearts desire ta #
avah #,
and blesseth the covetous ,
whom the LORD abhorreth .
*
The wicked ,
through the pride of his countenance ,
will not seek after God :
God is not in all his thoughts .
*
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 shall not be moved :
for I shall never dowr #
be in adversity .
*
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud :
under his tongue is mischief and vanity .
*
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 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 croucheth ,
and humbleth himself ,
that the poor chel @
may fall by his strong ones .
*
He hath said in his heart ,
God hath forgotten :
he hideth his face ;
he will never see it .
*
Arise ,
O LORD ;
O God ,
lift up thine hand :
forget not the humble #.
*
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God ?
he hath said in his heart ,
Thou wilt not require it .
*
Thou hast seen it ;
for thou beholdest mischief and spite ka #
ac #,
to requite it with thy hand :
the poor committeth himself unto thee ;
thou art the helper of the fatherless .
*
Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man :
seek out his wickedness till thou find none .
*
The LORD is King for ever and ever :
the heathen are perished out of his land .
*
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 the oppressed ,
that the man of the earth may no more oppress .
