Why , O LORD , do You stand far off ? Why do You hide in times of trouble ?
| LXX |
In pride the wicked pursue the needy ; let them be caught in the schemes ... they devise.
| LXX |
For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart ; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
| LXX |
In his pride ... the wicked (man) does not seek (Him) ; in all his schemes there is no God.
| LXX |
He is secure in his ways at all times ... ; Your lofty judgments are far from him ; he sneers all his foes.
| LXX |
He says to himself , “ I will not be moved ; from age to age - I am free of distress. ”
| LXX |
His mouth is full of cursing , deceit , and violence ; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
| LXX |
He lies in wait near the villages ; in ambush he slays the innocent ; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
| LXX |
He lies in wait ... like a lion in a thicket ; he lurks to seize the oppressed ; he catches the lowly in his net ....
| LXX |
They are crushed and beaten down ; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
| LXX |
He says to himself , “ God has forgotten ; He hides His face and never ... sees. ”
| LXX |
Arise , O LORD ! Lift up Your hand , O God ! Do not forget the helpless.
| LXX |
Why ... has the wicked man renounced God ? He says to himself , “ You will never call (me) to account. ”
| LXX |
But You have regarded trouble and grief ; You see to repay (it) by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You ; You are the helper of the fatherless.
| LXX |
Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer ; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
| LXX |
The LORD is King forever and ever ; the nations perish from His land.
| LXX |
You have heard , O LORD , the desire of the humble ; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear ,
| LXX |
to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed , that the men of the earth may strike terror no more ... ....
