Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know themselves [to be but] men. Selah.
Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself] in times of trouble?
The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts.
His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far above out of his sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I shall] never [be] in adversity.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue [is] mischief and vanity.
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.
