Why,\u00a0Lord<\/span>, do you stand far off?<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Why do you hide yourself\u00a0in times of trouble?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2\u00a0<\/sup>In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>who are caught in the schemes he devises.<\/span><\/span>
\n3\u00a0<\/sup>He boasts\u00a0about the cravings of his heart;<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>he blesses the greedy and reviles the\u00a0Lord<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>
\n4\u00a0<\/sup>In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>in all his thoughts there is no room for God.<\/span><\/span>
\n5\u00a0<\/sup>His ways are always prosperous;<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>your laws are rejected by him;<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>he sneers at all his enemies.<\/span><\/span>
\n6\u00a0<\/sup>He says to himself, \u201cNothing will ever shake me.\u201d<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>He swears, \u201cNo one will ever do me harm.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

7\u00a0<\/sup>His mouth is full\u00a0of lies and threats;<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>trouble and evil are under his tongue.<\/span><\/span>
\n8\u00a0<\/sup>He lies in wait\u00a0near the villages;<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>from ambush he murders the innocent.<\/span><\/span>
\nHis eyes watch in secret for his victims;<\/span>
\n9\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>like a lion in cover he lies in wait.<\/span><\/span>
\nHe lies in wait to catch the helpless;<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

His victims are crushed,\u00a0they collapse;<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>they fall under his strength.<\/span><\/span>
\n11\u00a0<\/sup>He says to himself, \u201cGod will never notice;<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>he covers his face and never sees.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

12\u00a0<\/sup>Arise,\u00a0Lord<\/span>! Lift up your hand,\u00a0O God.<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Do not forget the helpless.<\/span><\/span>
\n13\u00a0<\/sup>Why does the wicked man revile God?<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Why does he say to himself,<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u201cHe won\u2019t call me to account\u201d?<\/span><\/span>
\n14\u00a0<\/sup>But you, God, see the trouble\u00a0of the afflicted;<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>you consider their grief and take it in hand.<\/span><\/span>
\nThe victims commit themselves to you;<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>you are the helper\u00a0of the fatherless.<\/span><\/span>
\n15\u00a0<\/sup>Break the arm of the wicked man;<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>call the evildoer to account for his wickedness<\/span><\/span>
