10 And the Lord shall be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble;

11 And they that know thy name shall trust in thee: for thou dost not forsake them that seek thee, O Lord.

12 Sing to the Lord who dwelleth in Zion, declare his works among the nations,

13 for he demands for blood; remembers them, does not forget the cry of the oppressed.

14 Have mercy on me, O Lord; Look upon my affliction at the hands of them that hate me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

15 that I may declare all thy praises in the gate of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

16 The nations fell into the pit which they had dug; in the snare which they hid, their foot was entangled.

17 The Lord was known according to the judgment which he had done; the wicked are caught by the works of his hands.

18 Let the wicked turn to hell, all the nations that forget God.

19 For the poor shall not be forgotten for ever, neither shall the hope of the poor be utterly lost.

20 Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail, let the nations be judged before Thy face.

21 Bring fear upon them, O Lord; let the nations know that they are men.

22 Why, O Lord, do you stand afar off, hiding yourself in the time of trouble?

23 In his pride the wicked pursue the poor: let them be caught by the artifices which they themselves devise.

24 For the wicked man rejoiceth in the lust of his soul; the greedy man pleases himself.

25 In his arrogance the wicked despise the Lord: "He shall not seek"; in all his thoughts: "There is no God!"

26 At all times his ways are pernicious; Thy judgments are far from him; he looks upon all his enemies with contempt;

27 He says in his heart, "I will not be moved; no evil will befall me from generation to generation";

28 His mouth is full of curses, deceit, and lies; under the tongue is its torment and destruction;

29 He sits in ambush behind the courtyard, in secret places he kills an innocent; his eyes peep at the poor;

30 He lies in wait in a secret place, like a lion in a den; lies in wait in ambush to seize the poor; he seizes the poor, dragging him into his nets;
