Psalm 10

¹Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
²The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
³For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
⁴The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
⁵His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
⁶He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
⁷His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
⁸He 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.
⁹He 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.
¹⁰He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
¹¹He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
¹²Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
¹³Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
¹⁴Thou 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.
¹⁵Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
¹⁶The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
¹⁷Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
¹⁸To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

²In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
³And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
⁴When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
⁵And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
⁶And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.

⁴⁰And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
⁴¹And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
⁴²And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
⁴³And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
⁴⁴And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
⁴⁵But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
