Psalm 10 ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:1} Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself] in times of trouble? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:2} The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:3} For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:4} The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek [after God:] God [is] not in all his thoughts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:5} His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far above out of his sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:6} He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I shall] never [be] in adversity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:7} His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue [is] mischief and vanity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:8} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:9} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:10} He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:11} He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see [it.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:12} Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:13} Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:14} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:15} Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man:] seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:16} The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:17} LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 10:18} To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
