{Prayer
for punishment of the wicked}
1
Why stand You afar off, O Jehovah/God?
Why
hide You Yourself in times of trouble?
2
The wicked in his pride
does
persecute the poor.
Let
them be taken in the devices
that
they have imagined.
3
For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire,
and
blesses the covetous . . .
whom
Jehovah/God abhors.
4
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance,
will
not seek {after God}.
'Elohiym/Godhead
is not in all his thoughts.
5
His {the wicked one's} Ways are always grievous.
Your
judgments are far above out of his sight.
As
for all his enemies,
he
puffes at them.
6
He has said in his heart,
I
shall not be moved . . .
for
I shall never be in adversity.
7~~His
mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression.
Under
his tongue is evil and wickedness.
8
He sits in the lurking places of the villages.
In
the secret places does he murder the innocent.
His
eyes are privily set against the poor.
9
He 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.
10
He crouches, and humbles himself,
that
the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11
He has said in his heart,
Elohiym/Godhead
has forgotten.
He
hides his face.
He
will never see it.
12
Arise, O Jehovah/God; O 'El/God,
lift
up your hand
forget
not the humble.
13
Why does the wicked contemn 'Elohiym/Godhead?
He
has said in his heart, You will not require it.
14
You have seen it.
For
you behold mischief and spite,
to
requite it with your hand.
The
poor commits himself unto You;
You
are the helper of the fatherless.
15
Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man.
Seek
out his wickedness till you find none.
16
Jehovah/God is King forever and ever.
The
heathen are perished out of his land.
17
Jehovah/God,
you
have heard the desire of the humble.
You
will prepare their heart,
you
will cause your ear to hear:
18
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed,
that
the man of the earth may no more oppress.
