[Why] do You overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction? While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued; [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine. Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself. The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after [Him]; God is not before him. His ways are profane at all times; Your judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies. For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without adversity from generation to generation. Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain. He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor. He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him [after him]: he will bring him down in his snare. He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor. For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten; He has turned away His face so as never to look. Arise, O Lord God; let Your hand be lifted up: forget not the poor. Why has the wicked provoked God? For he has said in his heart, He will not require [it]. You see [it]; for You observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into Your hands; the poor has been left to You; You are a helper to the orphan. Break the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found. The Lord shall reign forever, even forever and ever: you Gentiles shall perish out His land. The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: Your ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart; to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth. [In the Septuagint, Psalms 9 and 10 are combined, and the Psalm numbers differ from this point on. [The Apostles' Bible] follows the traditional Psalm divisions, to avoid confusion.]
