1. Why do You stand far away, O Jehovah? Will You hide in times of distress?
|
1. Why H4100 standest H5975 thou afar off H7350 , O LORD H3068 ? why hidest H5956 thou thyself in times H6256 of trouble H6869 ?

|
5. His ways H1870 are always H3605 H6256 grievous H2342 ; thy judgments H4941 are far above H4791 out of his sight H4480 H5048 : as for all H3605 his enemies H6887 , he puffeth H6315 at them.
|
|
6. He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved! From generation to generation never will I be in evil.
|

8. He sits in the hiding places of the villages; in the secret places he murders the innocent; his eyes watch against the poor.
|
8. He sitteth H3427 in the lurking places H3993 of the villages H2691 : in the secret places H4565 doth he murder H2026 the innocent H5355 : his eyes H5869 are privily set H6845 against the poor H2489 .
|
|
9. He lies in wait secretly like a lion in his den; he lies in ambush to catch the poor; he seizes the poor, drawing him into his net;

|
11. He hath said H559 in his heart H3820 , God H410 hath forgotten H7911 : he hideth H5641 his face H6440 ; he will never H1077 H5331 see H7200 it .
|
|
12. Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up your hand; do not forget the lowly ones.
|
12. Arise H6965 , O LORD H3068 ; O God H410 , lift up H5375 thine hand H3027 : forget H7911 not H408 the humble H6035 .
|
|
13. Why does the wicked one despise God? He has said in his heart, You will not demand it.
|
13. Wherefore H5921 H4100 doth the wicked H7563 contemn H5006 God H430 ? he hath said H559 in his heart H3820 , Thou wilt not H3808 require H1875 it .
|
|
14. You have seen, for You take note of trouble and vexation, to give back with Your hand. The poor leaves himself to You; You are the helper of the orphan.
|
14. Thou hast seen H7200 it ; for H3588 thou H859 beholdest H5027 mischief H5999 and spite H3708 , to requite H5414 it with thy hand H3027 : the poor H2489 committeth H5800 himself unto H5921 thee; thou H859 art H1961 the helper H5826 of the fatherless H3490 .
|
|
15. Break the arm of the wicked and evil one; search out his wickedness until You find none.
|
15. Break H7665 thou the arm H2220 of the wicked H7563 and the evil H7451 man : seek out H1875 his wickedness H7562 till thou find H4672 none H1077 .

17. O Jehovah, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; Your ear will hear.
|
17. LORD H3068 , thou hast heard H8085 the desire H8378 of the humble H6035 : thou wilt prepare H3559 their heart H3820 , thou wilt cause thine ear H241 to hear H7181 :
|
|
18. Judge the orphan and the crushed. No more shall the man of the earth continue to terrify.
|
18. To judge H8199 the fatherless H3490 and the oppressed H1790 , that the man H582 of H4480 the earth H776 may no H1077 more H3254 H5750 oppress H6206 .
