A Song of Confidence in God’s Triumph over Evil

1 Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2 The wicked in his pride1 persecutes the poor;
aLet them be caught in the plots which they have devised. 
3 For the wicked aboasts of his heart’s desire;
He bblesses the greedy and renounces the Lord. 
4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
1God is in none of his athoughts. 
5 His ways1 are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them. 
6 aHe has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
bI shall never be in adversity.” 
7 aHis mouth is full of cursing and bdeceit and oppression;
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.
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.
