Psalm 10:1-3

Authorized (King James) Version

¹ Why standest thou afar off, O Lord?
why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
² The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor:
let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
³ For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire,
and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
