10:1  Why dost thou stand afar off, O LORD? Why dost thou hide thyself in times of trouble?
10:2  The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor; let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
10:3  For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors.
10:4  The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, does not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
10:5  His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his enemies, he puffs at them.
10:6  He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, for I shall never be in adversity.
10:7  His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
10:8  He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places he murders the innocent: his eyes are secretly set against the poor.
10:9  He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
10:10  He crouches and hides himself, and many are those who fall under his power.
10:11  He has said in his heart, God has forgotten; he hides his face; he will never see it.
10:12  Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand; forget not the humble.
10:13  In what does the wicked irritate God? He has said in his heart, Thou wilt not require accountability.
10:14  Thou hast seen it, for thou dost behold mischief and spite to requite it with thy hand: the poor commits himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
10:15  Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man; seek out his wickedness until thou find none.
10:16  The LORD is King for ever and ever; the Gentiles are perished out of his land.
10:17  LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart; thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
10:18  to judge the fatherless and the oppressed that the man of the earth may no longer oppress.
