¹Why stand youi afar off, O Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] ? [why] hide youi [yourself] in times of trouble?

²The wicked in [his] pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

³For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire, and blesses the covetous, [whom] the Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] abhors.

⁴The wicked, through the pride of his Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor) , will not seek [after God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]] : God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] not in all his thoughts.

⁵His ways are always grievous; youri judgments [are] far above out of his sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffs at them.

⁶He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I shall] never [be] in adversity.

⁷His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue [is] mischief and vanity.

⁸He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are secretly set against the poor.

⁹He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.

¹⁰He crouches, [and] humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

¹¹He has said in his heart, God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has forgotten: he hides his face; he will never see [it] .

¹²Arise, O Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] ; O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] , lift up youri hand: forget not the humble.

¹³For what reason does the wicked contemn (despise with mockery; show contempt) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] ? he has said in his heart, youi will not require [it] .

¹⁴Youi have seen [it] ; for youi behold mischief and spite (anger toward someone; grief) , to requite (repay) [it] with youri hand: the poor commits himself unto youi ; youi are the helper of the fatherless.

¹⁵Break youi the arm of the wicked and the evil [man] : seek out his wickedness [till] youi find none.

¹⁶Yehovah Melekh Olam! [Messiah Pre-Incarnate is King For Eternity] : the heathen are perished out of his land.

¹⁷Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] , youi have heard the desire of the humble: youi will prepare their heart, youi will cause youri ear to hear:

¹⁸To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
