6 They think in their heart, ‘We shall not be moved;
   throughout all generations we shall not meet adversity.’


7 Their mouths are filled with cursing and deceit and oppression;
   under their tongues are mischief and iniquity.
8 They sit in ambush in the villages;
   in hiding-places they murder the innocent.


Their eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
9   they lurk in secret like a lion in its covert;
they lurk that they may seize the poor;
   they seize the poor and drag them off in their net.


10 They stoop, they crouch,
   and the helpless fall by their might.
11 They think in their heart, ‘God has forgotten,
   he has hidden his face, he will never see it.’


12 Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
   do not forget the oppressed.
13 Why do the wicked renounce God,
   and say in their hearts, ‘You will not call us to account’?


14 But you do see! Indeed you note trouble and grief,
   that you may take it into your hands;
the helpless commit themselves to you;
   you have been the helper of the orphan.


15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoers;
   seek out their wickedness until you find none.
16 The Lord is king for ever and ever;
   the nations shall perish from his land.


17Lord, you will hear the desire of the meek;
   you will strengthen their heart, you will incline your ear
18 to do justice for the orphan and the oppressed,
   so that those from earth may strike terror no more.*
