19. For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
20. Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
21. Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
22. Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
23. Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
24. For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.
25. The sinner hath provoked the Lord according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
26. God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
27. For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
