PSALM X.-Ut quid, Domine ?

HY standest thou so fár I off O Lord: and hidest thy fáce in the I needful I time of 1 trouble?

2 The ungodly for his own lust doth pérse- I -cute the poor: let them be taken in the crafty wiliness that they I have im- I -agined.

3 For the ungodly hath made boast of his own heart's desire: and speaketh good of the covetous I whom I God ab- I -horreth.

4 The ungodly is so proud, that he cáreth I not for God: neither is God in all his thoughts.

5 His ways are I alway grievous: thy judgements are far above out of his sight ✶ and therefore de-I-fieth. he I all his I enemies.

6 For he hath said in his heart Tush, I shall néver be cast I down: there shall no hárm | happen I unto I me.

7 His mouth is full of cursing, de- I -ceit and | fraud: under his tongue is un- I -godli- | -ness and I vanity.

8 He sitteth lurking in the thievish córners of the streets and privily in his lurking dens doth he murder the innocent his eyes are I set against the poor.

9 For he lieth waiting secretly even as a lion lúrketh helin his den: that I he may I ravish. the poor. 10 Hé doth | ravish. the poor: when he I getteth him into. his I net.

11 He falleth down, and I humbleth. him- I -self : that the congregation of the poor, may fáll into the hands of his I captains.

12 He hath said in his heart*Tush, Gódhath for-1 gotten he hideth away his fáce, and I he will never see it.

13 Arise, O Lord God

and lift up I thine hand:

fór--get not the poor.

14 Wherefore should the wicked blas- I -pheme | God: while he doth say in his heart thou God carest. not I for it.

15 Surely thou hast I seen it: for thou beholdest un--godli- I -ness and I wrong.

16 That thou mayest take the matter | into. thine! hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee* for thou art the I helper | of the friendless. 17 Break thou the power of the ungodly I and ma- I licious: take away his ungódliness and I thou shalt I find I none.
