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.
