2 The wicked in his pride1 persecutes the poor;
aLet them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
aLet them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
5 His ways1 are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
7 aHis mouth is full of cursing and bdeceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
9 He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
14 But You have aseen, for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless bcommits himself to You;
cYou are the helper of the fatherless.
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless bcommits himself to You;
cYou are the helper of the fatherless.
