BRAGADAYJAH 1330
Psalm 10 A Psalm of David.  A Plea for God’s Judgement
Why standeth thou afar off, O Lord? Why hideth thou thyself in times of trouble? The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor. Let them be taken in the device that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire and blesseth the covetous whom the Lord abhoreth. The wicked through the pride of his countenance will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous; Thy judgments are far above all his sights; as for all his enemies he puffeth at them. He has said in his heart I shall not he moved: for I will never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud; under his tongue is mischief and vanity He sitteth in the lurking places of the village, in the secret place doth he murder the innocent; his eyes are privily set against the poor. He lieth in wait secretly as a loin in his den; he lieth in wait to catch the poor; he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. He croucheth and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall be his strong ones. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten; He hideth His face; He will never see it. Arise O Lord, O God lift up thine hand, forget not the humble. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He has said in his heart Thou will not require it. Thou hast seen it for thou beholdeth mischief and spite. To require it with thine hand the poor committeth himself unto thee; Thou art the helper of the fatherless. Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man seek out his wickedness, until thou findeth none. The Lord is King forever and ever. The heathen are perished out of the land. Lord thou hast heard the desire of the humble, thou wilt prepare their heart; thou wilt cause thine ear to hear. To judge the fatherless and the oppressed that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
