AKJV - Psalms - 10

10:1  Why stand you afar off, O LORD? why hide you yourself in times of trouble?

10:2  The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

10:3  For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors.

10:4  The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

10:5  His ways are always grievous; your judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffs at them.

10:6  He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

10:7  His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

10:8  He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privately set against the poor.

10:9  He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.

10:10  He crouches, and humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

10:11  He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face; he will never see it.

10:12  Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.

10:13  Why does the wicked scorn God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it.

10:14  You have seen it; for you behold mischief and spite, to requite it with your hand: the poor commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.

10:15  Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till you find none.

10:16  The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

10:17  LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:

10:18  To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
