Text

1	Why, O LORD, do you stand afar off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2	In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.
3	For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the LORD.
4	In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
5	His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them.
6	He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.”
7	His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.
8	He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
9	he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.
10	The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might.
11	He says in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”
12	Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted.
13	Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”?
14	But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into your hands; to you the helpless commits himself; you have been the helper of the fatherless.
15	Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till you find none.
16	The LORD is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land.
17	O LORD, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear
18	to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.

NIV

1	Why, O LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2	In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3	He boasts of the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4	In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
5	His ways are always prosperous; he is haughty and your laws are far from him; he sneers at all his enemies.
6	He says to himself, “Nothing will shake me; I'll always be happy and never have trouble.”
7	His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.
8	He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent, watching in secret for his victims.
9	He lies in wait like a lion in cover; he lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
10	His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength.
11	He says to himself, “God has forgotten; he covers his face and never sees.”
12	Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.
13	Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, “He won't call me to account”?
14	But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15	Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; call him to account for his wickedness that would not be found out.
16	The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.
17	You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
18	defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.

NLT

1	O LORD, why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide when I am in trouble?
2	The wicked arrogantly hunt down the poor. Let them be caught in the evil they plan for others.
3	For they brag about their evil desires; they praise the greedy and curse the LORD.
4	The wicked are too proud to seek God. They seem to think that God is dead.
5	Yet they succeed in everything they do. They do not see your punishment awaiting them. They sneer at all their enemies.
6	They think, “Nothing bad will ever happen to us! We will be free of trouble forever!”
7	Their mouths are full of cursing, lies, and threats. Trouble and evil are on the tips of their tongues.
8	They lurk in ambush in the villages, waiting to murder innocent people. They are always searching for helpless victims.
9	Like lions crouched in hiding, they wait to pounce on the helpless. Like hunters they capture the helpless and drag them away in nets.
10	Their helpless victims are crushed; they fall beneath the strength of the wicked.
11	The wicked think, “God isn't watching us! He has closed his eyes and won't even see what we do!”
12	Arise, O LORD! Punish the wicked, O God! Do not ignore the helpless!
13	Why do the wicked get away with despising God? They think, “God will never call us to account.”
14	But you see the trouble and grief they cause. You take note of it and punish them. The helpless put their trust in you. You defend the orphans.
15	Break the arms of these wicked, evil people! Go after them until the last one is destroyed.
16	The LORD is king forever and ever! The godless nations will vanish from the land.
17	LORD, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them.
18	You will bring justice to the orphans and the oppressed, so mere people can no longer terrify them. For the choir director: A psalm of David.

KJV

1	Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
2	The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3	For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
4	The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5	His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6	He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7	His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
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 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 himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11	He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
12	Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
13	Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
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.
15	Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
16	The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17	LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18	To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
