Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, And the covetous renounceth, `yea', contemneth Jehovah.

In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.

The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith', He will not require it'. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require `it'?

Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;

He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; To all generations I shall not be in adversity.

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression: Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.

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 helpless.

He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it.

His ways are firm at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

Jehovah is King for ever and ever: The nations are perished out of his land.

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more. Psalm 11 For the Chief Musician. `A Psalm' of David.

Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget not the poor.

He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones.

Break thou the arm of the wicked; And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

Thou hast seen it'; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth himself' unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
