13Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah;

Behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me,

Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

14That I may show forth all thy praise.

In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:

In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

16Jehovah hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment:

The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

17The wicked shall be turned back unto Sheol,

Even all the nations that forget God.

18For the needy shall not alway be forgotten,

Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

19Arise, O Jehovah; let not man prevail:

Let the nations be judged in thy sight.

20Put them in fear, O Jehovah:

Let the nations know themselves to be but men. Selah

Psalm 10

1Why standest thou afar off, O Jehovah?

Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

2In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued;

Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.

3For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire,

And the covetous renounceth, yea, contemneth Jehovah.

4The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith,

He will not require it.

All his thoughts are,

There is no God.

5His ways are firm at all times;

Thy judgments are far above out of his sight:

As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

6He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved;

To all generations I shall not be in adversity.
