1  Why standest thou so far off, O Lord : and hidest thy face in the needful time of trouble?

2  The ungodly for his own lust doth persecute the poor : let them be taken in the crafty wiliness that they have imagined.

3  For the ungodly hath made boast of his own heart's desire : and speaketh good of the covetous, whom God abhorreth.

4  The ungodly is so proud, that he careth not for God ; neither is God in all his thoughts.

5  His ways are alway grievous : thy judgements are far above out of his sight, and therefore defieth he all his enemies.

6  For he hath said in his heart, Tush, I shall never be cast down : there shall no harm happen unto me.

7  His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and fraud : under his tongue is ungodliness and vanity.

8  He sitteth lurking in the thievish corners of the streets : and privily in his lurking dens doth he murder the innocent; his eyes are set against the poor.

9  For he lieth waiting secretly, even as a lion lurketh he in his den : that he may ravish the poor.

10  He doth ravish the poor : when he getteth him into his net.

11  He falleth down, and humbleth himself : that the congregation of the poor may fall into the hands of his captains.

12  He hath said in his heart, Tush, God hath forgotten : he hideth away his face, and he will never see it.

13  Arise, O Lord God, and lift up thine hand : forget not the poor.

14  Wherefore should the wicked blaspheme God : while he doth say in his heart, Tush, thou God carest not for it.

15  Surely thou hast seen it : for thou beholdest ungodliness and wrong.

16  That thou mayest take the matter into thy hand : the poor committeth himself unto thee; for thou art the helper of the friendless.

17  Break thou the power of the ungodly and malicious : take away his ungodliness, and thou shalt find none.

18  The Lord is King for ever and ever : and the heathen are perished out of the land.

19  Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the poor : thou preparest their heart, and thine ear hearkeneth thereto;

20  To help the fatherless and poor unto their right : that the man of the earth be no more exalted against them.
