KJV ¹ Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

VULC ¹ In finem. Psalmus David.

WLC ¹ לָמָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תַּעֲמֹ֣ד בְּרָח֑וֹק תַּ֝עְלִ֗ים לְעִתּ֥וֹת בַּצָּרָֽה׃

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

VULC ² [In Domino confido ; quomodo dicitis animæ meæ :
Transmigra in montem sicut passer ?

WLC ² בְּגַאֲוַ֣ת רָ֭שָׁע יִדְלַ֣ק עָנִ֑י יִתָּפְשׂ֓וּ ׀ בִּמְזִמּ֖וֹת ז֣וּ חָשָֽׁבוּ׃

KJV ³ For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

VULC ³ Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum ;
paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra,
ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde :

WLC ³ כִּֽי־ הִלֵּ֣ל רָ֭שָׁע עַל־ תַּאֲוַ֣ת נַפְשׁ֑וֹ וּבֹצֵ֥עַ בֵּ֝רֵ֗ךְ נִ֘אֵ֥ץ ׀ יְהוָֽה׃

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

VULC ⁴ quoniam quæ perfecisti destruxerunt ;
justus autem, quid fecit ?

WLC ⁴ רָשָׁ֗ע כְּגֹ֣בַהּ אַ֭פּוֹ בַּל־ יִדְרֹ֑שׁ אֵ֥ין אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים כָּל־ מְזִמּוֹתָֽיו׃

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

VULC ⁵ Dominus in templo sancto suo ;
Dominus in cælo sedes ejus.
Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt ;
palpebræ ejus interrogant filios hominum.

WLC ⁵ יָ֘חִ֤ילוּ בְּכָל־ עֵ֗ת מָר֣וֹם מִ֭שְׁפָּטֶיךָ מִנֶּגְדּ֑וֹ כָּל־ צ֝וֹרְרָ֗יו יָפִ֥יחַ בָּהֶֽם׃

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

VULC ⁶ Dominus interrogat justum et impium ;
qui autem diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.

WLC ⁶ אָמַ֣ר בְּ֭לִבּוֹ בַּל־ אֶמּ֑וֹט לְדֹ֥ר וָ֝דֹ֗ר אֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹֽא־ בְרָֽע׃

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

VULC ⁷ Pluet super peccatores laqueos ;
ignis et sulphur, et spiritus procellarum, pars calicis eorum.

WLC ⁷ אָלָ֤ה פִּ֣יהוּ מָ֭לֵא וּמִרְמ֣וֹת וָתֹ֑ךְ תַּ֥חַת לְ֝שׁוֹנ֗וֹ עָמָ֥ל וָאָֽוֶן׃

KJV 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.

VULC ⁸ Quoniam justus Dominus, et justitias dilexit :
æquitatem vidit vultus ejus.]

WLC ⁸ יֵשֵׁ֤ב ׀ בְּמַאְרַ֬ב חֲצֵרִ֗ים בַּֽ֭מִּסְתָּרִים יַהֲרֹ֣ג נָקִ֑י עֵ֝ינָ֗יו לְֽחֵלְכָ֥ה יִצְפֹּֽנוּ׃

KJV 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.

WLC ⁹ יֶאֱרֹ֬ב בַּמִּסְתָּ֨ר ׀ כְּאַרְיֵ֬ה בְסֻכֹּ֗ה יֶ֭אֱרֹב לַחֲט֣וֹף עָנִ֑י יַחְטֹ֥ף עָ֝נִ֗י בְּמָשְׁכ֥וֹ בְרִשְׁתּֽוֹ׃

KJV ¹⁰ He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

WLC ¹⁰ יָשֹׁ֑חַ וְנָפַ֥ל בַּ֝עֲצוּמָ֗יו

KJV ¹¹ He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

WLC ¹¹ אָמַ֣ר בְּ֭לִבּוֹ שָׁ֣כַֽח אֵ֑ל הִסְתִּ֥יר פָּ֝נָ֗יו בַּל־ רָאָ֥ה לָנֶֽצַח׃

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

WLC ¹² קוּמָ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה אֵ֭ל נְשָׂ֣א יָדֶ֑ךָ אַל־ תִּשְׁכַּ֥ח

KJV ¹³ Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

WLC ¹³ עַל־ מֶ֤ה ׀ נִאֵ֖ץ רָשָׁ֥ע ׀ אֱלֹהִ֑ים אָמַ֥ר בְּ֝לִבּ֗וֹ לֹ֣א תִּדְרֹֽשׁ׃

KJV 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.

WLC ¹⁴ רָאִ֡תָה כִּֽי־ אַתָּ֤ה ׀ עָ֘מָ֤ל וָכַ֨עַס ׀ תַּבִּיט֮ לָתֵ֪ת בְּיָ֫דֶ֥ךָ עָ֭לֶיךָ יַעֲזֹ֣ב חֵלֶ֑כָה יָ֝ת֗וֹם אַתָּ֤ה ׀ הָיִ֬יתָ עוֹזֵֽר׃

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

WLC ¹⁵ שְׁ֭בֹר זְר֣וֹעַ רָשָׁ֑ע וָ֝רָ֗ע תִּֽדְרוֹשׁ־ רִשְׁע֥וֹ בַל־ תִּמְצָֽא׃

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

WLC ¹⁶ יְהוָ֣ה מֶ֭לֶךְ עוֹלָ֣ם וָעֶ֑ד אָבְד֥וּ ג֝וֹיִ֗ם מֵֽאַרְצֽוֹ׃

KJV ¹⁷ LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

WLC ¹⁷ תַּאֲוַ֬ת עֲנָוִ֣ים שָׁמַ֣עְתָּ יְהוָ֑ה תָּכִ֥ין לִ֝בָּ֗ם תַּקְשִׁ֥יב אָזְנֶֽךָ׃

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

WLC ¹⁸ לִשְׁפֹּ֥ט יָת֗וֹם וָ֫דָ֥ךְ בַּל־ יוֹסִ֥יף ע֑וֹד לַעֲרֹ֥ץ אֱ֝נ֗וֹשׁ מִן־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃
