4. The wicked, through his pride of face,on God he doth not call;And in the counsels of his heartthe Lord is not at all.
5. His ways they always grievous are;thy judgments from his sightRemoved are: at all his foeshe puffeth with despight.
6. Within his heart he thus hath said,I shall not moved be;And no adversity at allshall ever come to me.
7. His mouth with cursing, fraud, deceit,is fill'd abundantly;And underneath his tongue there ismischief and vanity.
8. He closely sits in villages;he slays the innocent:Against the poor that pass him byhis cruel eyes are bent.
9. He, lion-like, lurks in his den;he waits the poor to take;And when he draws him in his net,his prey he doth him make.
10. Himself he humbleth very low,he croucheth down withal,That so a multitude of poormay by his strong ones fall.
11. He thus hath said within his heart,The Lord hath quite forgot;He hides his countenance, and hefor ever sees it not.
12. O Lord, do thou arise; O God,lift up thine hand on high:Put not the meek afflicted onesout of thy memory.
