6. He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved;throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.”
7. His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.
8. He sits in ambush in the villages;in hiding places he murders the innocent.His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
9. he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket;he lurks that he may seize the poor;he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.
10. The helpless are crushed, sink down,and fall by his might.
11. He says in his heart, “God has forgotten,he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”
12. Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted.
13. Why does the wicked renounce Godand say in his heart, “You will not call to account”?
14. But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation,that you may take it into your hands;to you the helpless commits himself;you have been the helper of the fatherless.
15. Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till you find none.
