1 Why standest thou afar off, O
2 The wicked in
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous,
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek
5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue
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,
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see
12 Arise, O
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require
14 Thou hast seen
15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil
16 The
17 LORD
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
