Psalm 10
| 1 | Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? |
| 2 | The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. |
| 3 | For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. |
| 4 | The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. |
| 5 | His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. |
| 6 | He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. |
| 7 | His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. |
| 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. |
| 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 | He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. |
| 11 | He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. |
| 12 | Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. |
| 13 | Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. |
| 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. |
| 15 | Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none. |
| 16 | The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. |
| 17 | LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: |
| 18 | To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. |
