CHAP. X.

1 Dauid complaineth to God of the outrage of the wicked. 12 He prayeth for remedie. 16 He professeth his confidence.

¹ Why standest thou afarre off, O Lord? why hidest thou thy selfe in times of trouble?

² The wicked in his pride doeth persecute the poore: let them be taken in the deuices that they haue imagined.²

³ For the wicked boasteth of his hearts desire, and blesseth the couetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.³

⁴ The wicked through the pride of his countenance will not seeke after God: God is not in all his thoughts.⁴

⁵ His wayes are alwayes grieuous, thy iudgements are farre aboue out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

⁶ He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moued: for I shall neuer be in aduersitie.⁶

⁷ His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and fraud: vnder his tongue is mischiefe and vanitie.⁷

⁸ He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doeth he murder the innocent: his eyes are priuily set against the poore.⁸

⁹ He lieth in waite secretly as a lyon in his denne, he lieth in wait to catch the poore: he doth catch the poore when he draweth him into his net.⁹

¹⁰ He croucheth, and humbleth himselfe, that the poore may fall by his strong ones.¹⁰

¹¹ Hee hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face, hee will neuer see it.¹¹

¹² Arise, O Lord, O God lift vp thine hand: forget not the humble.¹²

¹³ Wherefore doeth the wicked contemne God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

¹⁴ Thou hast seene it, for thou beholdest mischiefe and spite to requite it with thy hand: the poore committeth himselfe vnto thee, thou art the helper of the fatherlesse.¹⁴

¹⁵ Breake thou the arme of the wicked, and the euill man: seeke out his wickednes, till thou finde none.

¹⁶ The Lord is King for euer and euer: the heathen are perished out of his land.¹⁶

¹⁷ Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine eare to heare,¹⁷

¹⁸ To iudge the fatherlesse and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppresse.¹⁸
