Psalmes 10

0 1 Dauid complaineth to God of the outrage of the wicked. 12 He prayeth for remedie. 16 He professeth his confidence. X ¶ Why standest thou afarre off, O LORD? why hidest thou thy selfe in times of trouble? 2 [fn][fn]The wicked in his pride doeth persecute the poore: let them be taken in the deuices that they haue imagined. 3 [fn][fn]For the wicked boasteth of his hearts desire, and blesseth the couetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. 4 [fn][fn]The wicked through the pride of his countenance will not seeke after God: God is not in all his thoughts. 5 His wayes are alwayes grieuous, thy iudgements are farre aboue out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 6 [fn]He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moued: for I shall neuer be in aduersitie. 7 [fn][fn][fn]His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and fraud: vnder his tongue is mischiefe and vanitie. 8 [fn]He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doeth he murder the innocent: his eyes are priuily set against the poore. 9 [fn]He lieth in waite secretly as a lyon in his denne, he lieth in wait to catch the poore: he doth catch the poore when he draweth him into his net. 10 [fn][fn]He croucheth, and humbleth himselfe, that the poore may fall by his strong ones. 11 [fn]Hee hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face, hee will neuer see it. 12 [fn]Arise, O LORD, O God lift vp thine hand: forget not the humble. 13 Wherefore doeth the wicked contemne God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. 14 [fn]Thou hast seene it, for thou beholdest mischiefe and spite to requite it with thy hand: the poore committeth himselfe vnto thee, thou art the helper of the fatherlesse. 15 Breake thou the arme of the wicked, and the euill man: seeke out his wickednes, till thou finde none. 16 [fn]The LORD is King for euer and euer: the heathen are perished out of his land. 17 [fn]LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine eare to heare, 18 [fn]To iudge the fatherlesse and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppresse.
