The dangers of the pilgrim

1
Why do you stand far off, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2
In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
3
For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns the LORD.
4
The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
5
His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
6
He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
7
His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
8
He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
9
He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.
10
The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
11
He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”
12
Arise, LORD! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.
13
Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
14
But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
15
Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
16
The LORD is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.
17
LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
18
to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

The dangers of the pilgrim

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