King James Version with Apocrypha
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Why standest thou afar off, O LORD ? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
1Unto the end. A psalm for David.
2The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
2In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: Get thee away from hence to the mountain like a sparrow?
3For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
3For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.
4The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
4For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what has the just man done?
5His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
5The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes look on the poor man: his eyelids examine the sons of men.
6He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
6The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.
7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
7He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.
8He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
8For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
9He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
