<p>

      
         1.  Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices 
        that they have imagined.
      
    <br/>

      
         3.  For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the 
        Lord abhorreth.
      
    <br/>

      
         4.  The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not 
        in all his thoughts.
      
    <br/>

      
         5.  His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for 
        all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
      
    <br/>

      
         6.  He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
      
    <br/>

      
         7.  His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and Fraud: under his tongue is mischief and 
        vanity.
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         10.  He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
      
    <br/>

      
         11.  He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see 
        it.
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
      
    <br/>

      
         13.  Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not 
        require it.
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         15.  Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou 
        find none.
      
    <br/>

      
         16.  The Lord is king for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
      
    <br/>

      
         17.  Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou 
        wilt cause thine ear to hear:
      
    <br/>

      
         18.  To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more 
        oppress.
