PSAL. X.

1 He complaineth of the fraude, rapine, tyrannie: and all kindes of wrong, which worldelie men vse, assigning the cause thereof, that 〈◊〉〈◊〉 men, beyng as it were drun∣ken with worldelie prosperitie, and therefore settyng a parte all feare and reuerence towardes God, thinke they may do all thyngs without countrowling. 15 Therefore he calleth vpon God to send some remedie agaynst these desperate euils. 16 And at length comforteth him selfe with hope of deliuerance.

1 WHy standest thou farre of, ô LORD, (and) hidest thee ina 1.1 (due) time, (euē) in affliction?

2 The wicked with pride doeth persecute the poore: let them be taken in the craftes that they haue imagined.

3 For the wicked hatheb 1.2 made boast of hys owne heartes desire, and the couetous bles∣seth (him selfe:) he contemneth the Lord.

4 The 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is so proude that he seketh not (for God:) he thinketh alwaies, There is no God.

5 His wayes alwaye prosper: thy Iudgements are 〈◊〉〈◊〉 aboue hys sight: therefore defieth he all his enemies.* 1.3

6 He saieth in his heart, I shall“ 1.4 neuer be mo∣ued,c 1.5 nor be in danger.

7 Hys 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is full of cursing and disceite and fraude: vnder his tongue is mischief and iniquitie. * 1.6

8 d 1.7 He lieth in waite in the villages: in the se∣cret places doeth he murther the innocent his eies are bent against the poore.

9 He lieth in wait secretly, (euen) as a lyon in hys denne: he lieth in waite to spoyle the poore: he doeth spoyle the poore, when he draweth him into his net.

10 He crowcheth (and) boweth: therfore hea∣pes of thee 1.8 poore do fall by his might.

11 He hathe said in his heart, GOD hathe for∣gotten, he hideth awaye his face, (and) will neuerse.

12 f 1.9 Arise, o Lord God: lift vp thine hand: for∣get not the poore.

13 Wherefore doeth the wycked contemne God? he saieth in hys hearte, Thou wilt notg 1.10 regarde.

14 (Yet) thou hast sene it: for thou beholdest mischief and wrong, that thou maiesth 1.11 take it into thine hands: the poore committeth him selfe vnto thee: (for) thou art the helper of the fatherles.

15 Breake thou the arme of the wicked and malicious: searche his wickednes, (and) thou shalt findei 1.12 none.

16 The Lord (is) King for euer and euer: thek 1.13

heathen are destroyed forthe of his land.

17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the poo∣re: thou preparest their heart: thou bendest thine eare (to them,)

18 l 1.14 To iuge the fatherles and poore, that earth lie man“ 1.15 cause to feare no more.
