Psalms 9:29-36 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

29. He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.

30. His eyes are upon the poor man: He lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.

31. In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.

32. For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face not to see to the end.

33. Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.

34. Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.

35. Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.

36. Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
