[2]The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. |
| [3]For the vngodly prayseth according to his owne heartes desire: and blessing the couetous, he blasphemeth God |
[3]For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. |
| [4]The vngodly looketh so proudly as though he cared for none at all: neither is the Lorde in all his thoughtes |
[4]The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. |
| [5]His wayes are alwayes greeuous, but thy iudgementes are farre aboue out of his sight: [and therfore] he snuffeth at all his enemies |
[5]His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. |

[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. |
| [9]He lieth in wayte lurking as a Lion in his denne: he lyeth in wayte lurkyng, that he may violently carry away the afflicted, he doth carry away violentlye the afflicted, in halyng hym into his net |
[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. |
| [10]He croucheth and humbleth him selfe: so that a number of the that be weake, fall by his myght |

| [11]He sayeth in his heart, tushe, the Lord hath forgotten: he hydeth away his face, and he wyll neuer see it |
[11]He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. |
| [12]Aryse vp O Lorde God: lift vp thine hande, forget not the afflicted |
[12]Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the humble. |
| [13]Wherefore shoulde the wicked blaspheme the Lorde: [whyle] he sayeth in his heart, that thou wylt not call to accompt |
[13]Why doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. |
| [14]Surely thou hast seene [this] for thou beholdest labour and spite: that thou mayest take the matter into thy hands, he that is weake leaueth it for thee, [for] thou art the helper of the fatherlesse |
[14]Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself to thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. |
| [15]Breake thou the power of the vngodly and malitious: searche thou out his vngodlynes, and thou shalt finde none afterwarde in him |
[15]Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou shalt find none. |
| [16]God is king for euer and euer: but the Heathen shall perishe out of the lande |
[16]The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen have perished out of his land. |
| [17]O God, thou hast hearde the desire of the afflicted: [and] thou wylt settle their heart |
[17]LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to hear: |
| [18]Thou wylt be attentiue with thyne eare, to geue iudgement for the fatherlesse and oppressed: [so] no man in the earth shall once go about hereafter to do them violence |
[18]To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. |
