2. The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3. For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD abhors.
4. The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in any of his thoughts.
5. His ways are always prosperous; your judgments are far above, out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
6. He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8. He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are secretly set against the poor.
9. He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
10. He crouches, and lies low, that the poor may fall by his strength.
11. He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face; he will never see it.
12. Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.
13. Why does the wicked renounce God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it.
