10
2 The wicked in
his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous,
whom the LORD abhorreth.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek
after God: God
is not in all his thoughts.
5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments
are far above out of his sight:
as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his
eyes are privily set against the poor.
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the
poor, when he draweth him into his net.
14 Thou hast seen
it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite
it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
