Psalme 10

¹Why standest thou afarre off, O Lord? why hidest thou thy selfe in times of trouble?

²The wicked in his pride doeth persecute the poore: let them be taken in the deuices that they haue imagined.

³For the wicked boasteth of his hearts desire, and blesseth the couetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.

⁴The wicked through the pride of his countenance will not seeke after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

⁵His wayes are alwayes grieuous, thy iudgements are farre aboue out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

⁶He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moued: for I shall neuer be in aduersitie.

⁷His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and fraud: vnder his tongue is mischiefe and vanitie.

⁸He 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.

⁹He 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.

¹⁰He croucheth, and humbleth himselfe, that the poore may fall by his strong ones.

¹¹Hee hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face, hee will neuer see it.

¹²Arise, O Lord, O God lift vp thine hand: forget not the humble.

¹³Wherefore doeth the wicked contemne God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

¹⁴Thou 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.

¹⁵Breake thou the arme of the wicked, and the euill man: seeke out his wickednes, till thou finde none.

¹⁶The Lord is King for euer and euer: the heathen are perished out of his land.

¹⁷Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine eare to heare,

¹⁸To iudge the fatherlesse and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppresse.
