World English Bible Classic
[1] Why do you stand far off, Yahweh?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
[2] In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak.
They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
[3] For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings.
He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.
[4] The wicked, in the pride of his face,
has no room in his thoughts for God.
[5] His ways are prosperous at all times.
He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight.
As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
[6] He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken.
For generations I shall have no trouble.”
[7] His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression.
Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
[8] He lies in wait near the villages.
From ambushes, he murders the innocent.
His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
[9] He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless.
He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.
[10] The helpless are crushed.
They collapse.
They fall under his strength.
[11] He says in his heart, “God has forgotten.
He hides his face.
He will never see it.” [12] Arise, Yahweh!
God, lift up your hand!
Don’t forget the helpless.
[13] Why does the wicked person condemn God,
and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
[14] But you do see trouble and grief.
You consider it to take it into your hand.
You help the victim and the fatherless.
[15] Break the arm of the wicked.
As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
[16] Yahweh is King forever and ever!
The nations will perish out of his land.
[17] Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble.
You will prepare their heart.
You will cause your ear to hear,
[18] to judge the fatherless and the oppressed,
that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

ל Lamed
[1] Why standest H5975 (QalImpf) thou afar off, H7350 O Lord? H3068Why hidest H5956 (HiphImpf) thou thyself in times H6256 of trouble? H6869
[2] The wicked H7563 in his pride H1346 doth persecute H1814 (QalImpf) the poor: H6041§
Let them be taken H8610 (NiphImpf) in the devices H4209 that H2098 they have imagined. H2803 (QalPerf)
(מ Mem)
[3] For the wicked H7563 boasteth H1984 (PielPerf) of his heart’s H5315 desire, H8378And blesseth H1288 (PielPerf)§ the covetous, H1214 (QalActPtc) whom the Lord H3068 abhorreth. H5006 (PielPerf)
(נ Nun)
[4] The wicked, H7563 through the pride H1363 of his countenance, H639 will not seek H1875 (QalImpf) after God:God H430 is not in all his thoughts. H4209
[5] His ways H1870 are always H6256 grievous; H2342 (QalImpf) Thy judgments H4941 are far above H4791 out of his sight:
As for all his enemies, H6887 (QalActPtc) he puffeth H6315 (HiphImpf) at them.
[6] He hath said H559 (QalPerf) in his heart, H3820 I shall not be moved: H4131 (NiphImpf)
For I shall never§ H1755 be in adversity. H7451
(ס Samek)
פ Pe
[7] His mouth H6310 is full H4390 (QalPerf) of cursing H423 and deceit H4820§ and fraud: H8496Under his tongue H3956 is mischief H5999 and vanity. H205§
ע Ain
[8] He sitteth H3427 (QalImpf) in the lurking places H3993 of the villages: H2691In the secret places H4565 doth he murder H2026 (QalImpf) the innocent: H5355 His eyes H5869 are privily set H6845 (QalImpf) against the poor. H2489
(צ Zade)
[9] He lieth in wait H693 (QalImpf) secretly H4565§ as a lion H738 in his den: H5520He lieth in wait H693 (QalImpf) to catch H2414 (QalInf) the poor: H6041
He doth catch H2414 (QalImpf) the poor, H6041 when he draweth H4900 (QalInf) him into his net. H7568
[10] He croucheth, H1794 (QalImpf)§ and humbleth H7817 (QalImpf) himself,
That the poor H2426 (Qere) may fall H5307 (QalPerf) by his strong ones. H6099§
[11] He hath said H559 (QalPerf) in his heart, H3820 God H410 hath forgotten: H7911 (QalPerf)
He hideth H5641 (HiphPerf) his face; H6440 he will never H5331 see H7200 (QalPerf) it.
ק Qoph
[12] Arise, H6965 (QalImpv) O Lord; H3068 O God, H410 lift up H5375 (QalImpv) thine hand: H3027Forget H7911 (QalImpf) not the humble. H6035 (Qere)§ [13] Wherefore doth the wicked H7563 contemn H5006 (PielPerf) God? H430
He hath said H559 (QalPerf) in his heart, H3820 Thou wilt not require H1875 (QalImpf) it.
ר Resh
[14] Thou hast seen H7200 (QalPerf) it; for thou beholdest H5027 (HiphImpf) mischief H5999 and spite, H3708 to requite H5414 (QalInf) it with thy hand: H3027The poor H2489 committeth H5800 (QalImpf)§ himself unto thee; Thou art the helper H5826 (QalActPtc) of the fatherless. H3490
ש Shin
[15] Break H7665 (QalImpv) thou the arm H2220 of the wicked H7563And the evil H7451 man: seek out H1875 (QalImpf) his wickedness H7562 till thou find H4672 (QalImpf) none. H1077
[16] The Lord H3068 is King H4428 for ever H5769 and ever: H5703
The heathen H1471 are perished H6 (QalPerf) out of his land. H776
ת Taw
[17] Lord, H3068 thou hast heard H8085 (QalPerf) the desire H8378 of the humble: H6035Thou wilt prepare H3559 (HiphImpf)§ their heart, H3820 thou wilt cause thine ear H241 to hear: H7181 (HiphImpf)
[18] To judge H8199 (QalInf) the fatherless H3490 and the oppress§ed, H1790
That the man H582 of the earth H776 may no more H3254 (HiphImpf) oppress. H6206 (QalInf)
