| 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. |
| 3 | For the wicked boasteth of his hearts desire, and blesseth the couetous, whom the Lord abhorreth. |
| 4 | The wicked through the pride of his countenance will not seeke after God: God is not in all his thoughts. |
| 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. |
| 7 | His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and fraud: vnder his tongue is mischiefe and vanitie. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 10 | He croucheth, and humbleth himselfe, that the poore may fall by his strong ones. |
| 11 | Hee hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face, hee will neuer see it. |
| 12 | Arise, O Lord, O God lift vp thine hand: forget not the humble. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 17 | Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine eare to heare, |
| 18 | To iudge the fatherlesse and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppresse. |
