Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
Why, Jehovah
, dost
Thou
stand at
a
distance
? Thou
dost
hide in times of adversity,
Why, O
LORD
, do
You
stand far
off
? Why
do
You
hide in times of trouble?
Through
the
pride of
the wicked ,
Is
the poor
inflamed,
They
are
caught in devices
that
they devised
.
In
pride the wicked pursue
the needy;
let
them
be
caught in the
schemes
they devise
.
Because
the wicked hath
boasted
Of
the desire
of his soul,
And
a
dishonest
gainer
he
hath
blessed,
He hath
despised
Jehovah
.
For
the wicked man
boasts
in
the cravings
of his heart;
he blesses
the
greedy
and
reviles
the
LORD
.
The wicked according
to
the
height
of
his
face,
inquireth
not.
`God
is
not !'
`are'
all his devices
.
In
his
pride
the wicked man
does
not seek
Him;
in
all his schemes
there
is
no
God
.
Pain
do
his ways at all times ,
On
high
`are'
Thy
judgments before
him ,
All
his
adversaries
--
he puffeth
at them
.
He
is
secure
in
his ways at all times ;
Your
lofty
judgments are
far
from
him ;
he sneers
at all
his
foes
.
He hath
said
in
his
heart
, `
I am
not moved ,'
To generation
and
generation
not
in
evil
.
He says
to
himself
, “
I will
not be
moved ;
from
age
to age
I
am
free
of
distress
. ”
Of
oaths
his mouth is full, And
deceits
, and fraud:
Under his tongue `is'
perverseness
and
iniquity,
His mouth is full of
cursing
, deceit
, and violence;
trouble
and
malice
are
under his tongue .
He doth
sit
in an
ambush
of
the villages ,
In secret
places
he doth
slay
the innocent .
His eyes for the afflicted
watch
secretly,
He lies
in wait
near
the villages ;
in ambush
he slays
the innocent ;
his eyes watch
in
stealth
for the helpless.
He lieth
in wait in
a
secret
place,
as
a lion in a covert.
He lieth
in
wait
to catch
the poor,
He catcheth
the poor,
drawing
him
into
his net.
He lies
in wait like
a lion in a thicket;
he lurks
to seize
the oppressed;
he catches
the lowly
in
his net.
He
is
bruised
--
he
boweth
down ,
Fallen
by
his
mighty
ones
hath
the afflicted
.
They
are
crushed
and
beaten
down ;
the hapless
fall
prey
to
his
strength
.
He said
in
his
heart
, `
God hath
forgotten ,
He hath
hid
His face ,
He
hath
never seen
. '
He says
to
himself
, “
God has
forgotten ;
He hides
His face and
never sees
. ”
Arise, O Jehovah
! O
God,
lift up Thy
hand! Forget
not the humble
.
Arise, O LORD
! Lift up Your
hand ,
O
God
! Do
not forget
the helpless
.
Wherefore
hath
the wicked despised
God? He hath
said
in
his
heart
, `It
is
not
required
. '
Why
has
the wicked man
renounced
God? He says
to
himself
, “You
will
never
call
me
to
account
. ”
Thou
hast
seen,
For
Thou
perverseness
and anger
beholdest
; By giving
into
Thy
hand ,
On
Thee
doth
the afflicted
leave
`it',
Of the fatherless Thou
hast
been
an
helper
.
But
You
have
regarded
trouble
and grief
; You
see
to
repay
it
by Your
hand .
The victim
entrusts
himself
to
You;
You
are
the
helper
of the fatherless.
Break the arm of the wicked and the
evil,
Seek
out
his wickedness ,
find
none ;
Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer;
call
him
to
account
for
his wickedness until
none is
left
to
be
found.
Jehovah
`
is '
king to
the
age,
and for
ever ,
The nations have
perished
out
of
His land !
The
LORD
is King forever
and ever ;
the nations perish
from
His land .
The desire of the humble Thou
hast
heard,
O
Jehovah.
Thou
preparest
their
heart
; Thou
causest
Thine
ear to
attend
,
You
have
heard,
O
LORD,
the desire of the humble; You
will
strengthen
their
hearts.
You
will
incline
Your
ear,
To judge
the fatherless and bruised:
He
addeth
no
more
to
oppress
--
man
of the earth !
to vindicate
the fatherless and oppressed,
that
the
men
of the earth may
strike
terror
no
more.
