1  Why stand so far off, O Lord? ♦︎
   Why hide yourself in time of trouble?
2  The wicked in their pride persecute the poor; ♦︎
   let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.
3  The wicked boast of their hearts desire; ♦︎
   the covetous curse and revile the Lord.
4  The wicked in their arrogance say, God will not avenge it; ♦︎
   in all their scheming God counts for nothing.
5  They are stubborn in all their ways,
      for your judgements are far above out of their sight; ♦︎
   they scoff at all their adversaries.
12  Arise, O Lord God, and lift up your hand; ♦︎
   forget not the poor.
