­PSA 10:1  Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times

 of trouble?

 

­PSA 10:2  The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken

 in the devices that they have imagined.

 

­PSA 10:3  For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the

 covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

 

­PSA 10:4  The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after

 God: God is not in all his thoughts.

 

­PSA 10:5  His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his

 sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

 

­PSA 10:6  He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be

 in adversity.

 

­PSA 10:7  His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue

 is mischief and vanity.

 

­PSA 10:8  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

 poor.

 

­PSA 10:9  He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to

 catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

 

­PSA 10:10  He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his

 strong ones.

 

­PSA 10:11  He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face;

 he will never see it.

 

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

 

­PSA 10:13  Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart,

 Thou wilt not require it.

 

­PSA 10:14  Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite

 it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper

 of the fatherless.

 

­PSA 10:15  Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his

 wickedness till thou find none.

 

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

 his land.

 

­PSA 10:17  LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare

 their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

 

­PSA 10:18  To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth

 may no more oppress.
