Psalms 10
1Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? <add>why</add> hidest thou <add>thyself</add> in times of trouble?
2The wicked in <add>his</add> 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, <add>whom</add> the LORD abhorreth.
4The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek <add>after God:</add> God <add>is</add> not in all his thoughts.
5His ways are always grievous; thy judgments <add>are</add> far above out of his sight: <add>as for</add> all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for <add>I shall</add> never <add>be</add> in adversity.
7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue <add>is</add> 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, <add>and</add> 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 <add>it</add>.
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 <add>it</add>.
14Thou hast seen <add>it;</add> for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite <add>it</add> 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 <add>man:</add> seek out his wickedness <add>till</add> thou find none.
16The LORD <add>is</add> 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.
2The wicked in <add>his</add> 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, <add>whom</add> the LORD abhorreth.
4The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek <add>after God:</add> God <add>is</add> not in all his thoughts.

6He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for <add>I shall</add> never <add>be</add> in adversity.
7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue <add>is</add> mischief and vanity.

11He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see <add>it</add>.
