1. Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah? Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
2. In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
3. For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, And the covetous renounceth, yea, contemneth Jehovah.
4. The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith, He will not require it. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
