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

VULC ¹ In finem. Psalmus David.

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 ?

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 :

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 ?

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.

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.

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.

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.]

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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