Psalm 10:8-14 American Standard Version (ASV)

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 helpless.

9. He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.

10. He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones.

11. He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it.

12. Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget not the poor.

13. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require it?

14. Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth himself unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
