¹祈求　神究治恶人耶和华啊！你为什么远远地站着？在患难的时候，你为什么隐藏起来呢？

¹Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

²恶人骄横地追逼困苦人，愿恶人陷入自己所设的阴谋中。

²The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

³恶人夸耀心中的欲望，他称赞贪财的人，却藐视耶和华（“他称赞贪财的人，却藐视耶和华”或译：“贪财的人谤渎耶和华，并藐视他”）。

³For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

⁴恶人面带骄傲，说：“耶和华必不追究！”在他的一切思想中，都没有　神。

⁴The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

⁵他的道路时常稳妥，你的判断高超，他却不放在眼内；他对所有的仇敌都嗤之以鼻。

⁵His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

⁶他心里说：“我必永不摇动，我决不会遭遇灾难。”

⁶He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

⁷他口里充满咒诅、诡诈和欺压的话，舌头底下尽是毒害与奸恶。

⁷His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

⁸他在村庄里埋伏等候，在隐密处杀害无辜的人，他的眼睛暗地里窥探不幸的人。

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.

⁹他在隐密处埋伏，像狮子埋伏在丛林中；他埋伏要掳走困苦人，他把困苦人拉入自己的网中，掳走了他们。

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.

¹⁰他击打，他屈身蹲伏，不幸的人就倒在他的爪下。

¹⁰He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

¹¹他心里说：“　神已经忘记了，他已经掩面，永远不看。”

¹¹He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

¹²耶和华啊！求你起来；　神啊！求你举起手来，不要忘记困苦的人。

¹²Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

¹³恶人为什么藐视　神，心里说：“你必不追究”呢？

¹³Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

¹⁴其实你已经看见了，忧患与愁苦你都已经看到，并且放在自己的手中；不幸的人把自己交托你；你是帮助孤儿的。

¹⁴Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

¹⁵愿你打断恶人和坏人的膀臂，愿你追究他们的恶行，直到清清楚楚。

¹⁵Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

¹⁶耶和华作王直到永永远远，列国都从他的地上灭亡。

¹⁶The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

¹⁷耶和华啊！困苦人的心愿你已经听见，你必坚固他们的心，也必留心听他们的呼求；

¹⁷LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

¹⁸好为孤儿和受欺压的人伸冤，使地上的人不再施行恐吓。

¹⁸To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
