1 <V 9:22>So then, why, O Lord, have you withdrawn far away? Why have you overlooked us in opportunity, in tribulation? Why, O LORD, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? Why, LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 <V 9:23>While the impious is arrogant, the poor is enflamed. They are held by the counsels that they devise. In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3 <V 9:24>For the sinner is praised by the desires of his soul, and the iniquitous is blessed. For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the LORD. He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4 <V 9:25>The sinner has provoked the Lord; according to the multitude of his wrath, he will not seek him. In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.” In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
5 <V 9:26>God is not before his sight. His ways are stained at all times. Your judgments are removed from his face. He will be master of all his enemies. His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them. His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies.
6 <V 9:27>For he has said in his heart, “I will not be disturbed: from generation to generation without evil.” He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.” He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.” He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”
7 <V 9:28>His mouth is full of curses, and bitterness, and deceit. Under his tongue are hardship and sorrow. His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity. His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.
8 <V 9:29>He sits in ambush, with resources in hidden places, so that he may execute the innocent. He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless; He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
9 <V 9:30>His eyes catch sight of the poor. He lies in ambush, in hiding like a lion in his den. He lies in ambush, so that he may seize the poor, to seize the poor as he draws him in. 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. like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
10 <V 9:31>With his snare, he will bring him down. He will crouch down and pounce, when he has power over the poor. The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might. His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength.
11 <V 9:32>For he has said in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has turned away his face, lest he see to the end.” He says in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.” He says to himself, “God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.”
12 <V 9:33>O Lord God, rise up. Let your hand be exalted. Do not forget the poor. Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted. Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.
13 <V 9:34>How has the impious one provoked God? For he has said in his heart, “He will not inquire.” Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”? Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, “He won’t call me to account|?
14 <V 9:35>You do see, for you examine hardship and sorrow, so that you may deliver them into your hands. The poor one has been abandoned to you. You will be a helper to the orphan. 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. But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 <V 9:36>Break the arm of the sinner and the malicious. His sin will be sought, and it will not be found. Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till you find none. Break the arm of the wicked man; call the evildoer to account for his wickedness that would not otherwise be found out.
16 <V 9:37>The Lord shall reign in eternity, even forever and ever. You will perish the Gentiles from his land. The LORD is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land. The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.
17 <V 9:38>The Lord has heeded the desire of the poor. Your ear has listened to the preparation of their heart, O LORD, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear You, LORD, hear the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
18 <V 9:39>so as to judge for the orphan and the humble, so that man may no longer presume to magnify himself upon the earth. to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more. defending the fatherless and the oppressed, so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.
