Why, Jehovah, standest thou afar off? [Why] hidest thou thyself in times of distress?
The wicked, in his pride, doth hotly pursue the afflicted. They shall be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
For the wicked boasteth of his soul's desire, and he blesseth the covetous; he contemneth Jehovah.
The wicked [saith], in the haughtiness of his countenance, He doth not search out: all his thoughts are, There is no God!
His ways always succeed; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; [as for] all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.
He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
I shall never be in adversity.”
I shall never be in adversity.”
He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation I shall be in no adversity.

He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
He lieth in wait secretly, like a lion in his thicket; he lieth in wait to catch the afflicted: he doth catch the afflicted, drawing him into his net.
He croucheth, he boweth down, that the wretched may fall by his strong ones.
He has said in his heart,
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”
He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth his face, he will never see [it].
Arise, O Lord!
O God, lift up Your hand!
Do not forget the humble.
O God, lift up Your hand!
Do not forget the humble.
Arise, Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted.
Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an account.”
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an account.”
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it].
Thou hast seen [it], for thou thyself beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite by thy hand. The wretched committeth himself unto thee; thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

Jehovah is King for ever and ever: the nations have perished out of his land.
