He strikes them down because they are wicked,

He hears the cries of the needy.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

He strikes them where the wicked stood,

where there are onlookers,

because they have turned aside from him

and have not understood any of his ways,

so that they cause the cry of distress from the helpless to come to him,

and he hears the cry of distress from the needy,

KJV 1900King James Version

He striketh them as wicked men

In the open sight of others;

Because they turned back from him,

And would not consider any of his ways:

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him,

And he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
