Psalm 10

1 Why stand you afar off, O LORD? why hide you yourself in times of trouble?
Compare verse
2 The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
Compare verse
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors.
Compare verse
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
Compare verse
5 His ways are always grievous; your judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffs at them.
Compare verse
6 He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
Compare verse
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
Compare verse
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privately set against the poor.
Compare verse
9 He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
Compare verse
10 He crouches, and humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
Compare verse
11 He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face; he will never see it.
Compare verse
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.
Compare verse
13 Why does the wicked scorn God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it.
Compare verse
14 You have seen it; for you behold mischief and spite, to requite it with your hand: the poor commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
Compare verse
15 Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till you find none.
Compare verse
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
Compare verse
17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:
Compare verse
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
