^9:4 For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.

9:6

Thou hast rebuked the nations, and the ungodly one has perished; thou hast blotted out their name for ever, even for ever and ever.

^9:5 You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.

9:7

The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,

^9:6 The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.

9:16

The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.

^9:15 The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.

9:22

Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? [why] dost thou overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?

^10:1 Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?

9:23

While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.

^10:2 In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.

9:24

Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.

^10:3 For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.

9:25

The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after [him]: God is not before him.

^10:4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.

9:26

His ways are profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.

9:27

For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation.

Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.

^10:7 His mouth is full of cursing, , and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.

9:29

He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.

^10:8 He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.

9:30

He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him [after him]: he will bring him down in his snare.

^10:9 He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.

9:31

He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.

^10:10 They are crushed ; the helpless fall prey to his strength.

9:32

For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.

^10:11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”

9:33

Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.

^10:12 Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.

9:34

Wherefore has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it].

^10:13 Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”

9:35

Thou seest [it]; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan.

^10:14 But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.

9:36

Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.

^10:15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.

9:37

The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish out of his land.

^10:16 The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.

9:38

The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: thine ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;

^10:17 You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,

9:39

to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.

^10:18 to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
