\q1
|
|
\v 1 Yahweh, why do you keep yourself far away from us?
|
|
\q2 Why do you not pay attention when we have troubles?
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Proud, wicked people, have a terrible desire within them to make poor people suffer.
|
|
\q2 God, make them fall into their own traps, so that what they did to others may be done to them!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 The wicked person boasts about the evil things he wants to do.
|
|
\q2 He desires to own the things that others have, and he does not want them to own more things than he has.
|
|
\q2 He boasts about all the things he owns, while he curses you, Yahweh.
|

|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 The wicked person is so proud
|
|
\q2 he never looks for God
|
|
\q2 and if he did look for God, he would not find him.
|
|
\q2 He is too proud to even think about God.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 But, looking at the life of the wicked man,
|
|
\q2 it seems that everything he does is successful.
|
|
\q2 He cannot even understand your commands, God,
|
|
\q2 and then he mocks his enemies.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 In his mind he thinks, "Nothing bad can happen to me!
|
|
\q2 As long as I live, I will never have troubles."
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 When he speaks he always curses and tells lies,
|
|
\q2 and he makes threats against others.
|
|
\q2 When he talks, he only speaks about hurting or destroying other people.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 He makes plans to attack the people living in the villages, people who have done nothing wrong.
|
|
\q2 He waits in places where he can hide
|
|
\q2 while he keeps looking for more people he can attack,
|
|
\q2 people who cannot defend themselves.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 He waits for his victims like a lion who crouches down,
|
|
\q2 and just like the lion, he hides in the bushes.
|
|
\q2 He is like the hunter who spreads out the net
|
|
\q2 so he can catch helpless people and drag them away.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 The helpless people are crushed by the wicked person's plans
|
|
\q2 and all the things he does.
|
|
\q2 He is powerful, and when he opposes the helpless people,
|
|
\q2 he always takes away from them whatever he wants.
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 The wicked person says, "God cannot remember what I did.
|
|
\q2 His eyes are covered, and he cannot see anything that I have done."
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Yahweh, arise! God, strike him down!
|
|
\q2 Do not forget those who are suffering!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 Why does the most wicked person curse you, God, and turn away from you?
|
|
\q2 Does he think, "God can never punish me"?
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 God, you do see the trouble and the distress that the wicked person causes.
|
|
\q2 And you will strike the wicked man and punish him for all that he does.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 God, destroy the power of the person who is wicked and evil!
|
|
\q2 Make him pay for those evil things he did,
|
|
\q2 those things that he thought God would not find out about him.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 Yahweh is king forever!
|
|
\q2 He will drive out foreign people from his land.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 Yahweh, when the people who suffer cry out to you, you listen.
|
|
\q2 You hear them when they pray and you encourage them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 You defend the orphans and oppressed people
|
|
\q2 when the strong and the wicked work to do them harm.
|
|
\q2 And so, no one has to worry or be terrified anymore.
