(Psa 10:1) Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? {why} hidest thou {thyself} in times of trouble?
(Psa 10:2) The wicked in {his} pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
(Psa 10:3) For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, {whom} the Lord abhorreth.
(Psa 10:4) The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek {after God}: God {is} not in all his thoughts.
(Psa 10:5) His ways are always grievous; thy judgments {are} far above out of his sight: {as for} all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
(Psa 10:6) He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for {I shall} never {be} in adversity.
(Psa 10:7) His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and Fraud: under his tongue {is} mischief and vanity.
(Psa 10:8) 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.
(Psa 10:9) 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.
(Psa 10:10) He croucheth, {and} humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
(Psa 10:11) He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see {it}.
(Psa 10:12) Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
(Psa 10:13) Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require {it}.
(Psa 10:14) 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.
(Psa 10:15) Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil {man}: seek out his wickedness {till} thou find none.
(Psa 10:16) The Lord {is} king for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
(Psa 10:17) Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
(Psa 10:18) To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
