He hath said in his heart, "Tush, God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, so that he will never see it."

Arise, O LORD God, and lift up thine hand; forget not the poor.

Surely thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest ungodliness and wrong, that thou mayest take the matter into thy hand. The poor committeth himself unto thee, for thou art the helper of the friendless.

LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the poor; thou preparest their heart, and thine ear hearkeneth thereto,

The LORD is King for ever and ever, and the Heathen are perished out of the land.

to help the fatherless and the poor unto their right, that the man of the earth be no more exalted against them.

Wherefore should the wicked blaspheme God, while he doth say in his heart, "Tush, thou God careth not for it?"

Why standest thou so far off, O LORD, and hidest thy face in the needful time of trouble?

The ungodly is so proud and full of indignation, that he careth not for God: neither is God in all his thoughts.

Break thou the power of the ungodly and malicious; search out the wickedness which he hath done, that he may perish.

For the ungodly hath made boast of his own heart's desire, and speaketh good of the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

While the ungodly hath the overhand, the poor must suffer persecution; let them be taken in the crafty wiliness that they have imagined!

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit and fraud; under his tongue is travail and sorrow.

For he lieth waiting secretly; even as a lion lurketh he in his den, that he may ravish the poor. He doth ravish the poor when he getteth him into his net.

For he hath said in his heart, "Tush, I shall never be cast down; there shall no harm happen unto me."

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above, out of his sight. Therefore defieth he all his enemies.

He sitteth lurking in the thievish corners of the streets, and privily in his lurking dens doth he murder the innocent; his eyes are set against the poor.

He falleth down, and humbleth himself, that the congregation of the poor may fall into the hands of his captains.
