\q1
|
||
|
\v 1 Yahweh, why do you keep yourself far away from us?
|
||
|
\q2 Why do you not pay attention when we have troubles?
|
||
|
\b
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 2 People who are proud eagerly cause poor people to suffer.
|
||
|
\q2 So cause what they do to others to happen to them, like traps that catch the very people who have set them for others!
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 3 They boast about the evil things that they want to do.
|
||
|
\q2 They praise people who take from others things that do not belong to them, and they curse you, Yahweh.

\s5
|

|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 4 The wicked people are very proud.
|
||
|
\q2 So they do not ask God for help;
|
||
|
\q2 they do not even think about him.
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 5 But it seems that they succeed in everything that they do.
|
||
|
\q2 The things that you have commanded are too difficult for him to understand;
|
||
|
\q2 they mock their enemies.
|
||
|
|
||
|
\s5
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 6 In their minds they think, "Nothing bad will happen to us!
|
||
|
\q2 We will never have troubles!"
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 7 When they talk, they are always cursing, lying, and threatening to harm others.
|
||
|
\q2 They constantly say evil things that show that they are ready to do evil and immoral things.
|
||
|
|
||
|
\s5
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 8 They hide in villages, ready to attack innocent people.
|
||
|
\q2 They constantly search for people who will not be able to resist them.
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 9 They are like lions that crouch down and hide,
|
||
|
\q2 waiting to pounce on some animal.
|
||
|
\q2 They are like hunters who catch helpless people like animals with a net and then drag them away.
|
||
|
\b
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 10 Just like helpless animals that are crushed,
|
||
|
\q2 people who cannot defend themselves are killed because wicked people overpower them.
|
||
|
|
||
|
\s5
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 11 The wicked people say, "God will not pay any attention to what we do.
|
||
|
\q2 His eyes are covered, and he cannot see anything."
|
||
|
\b
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 12 Yahweh, arise! God, help us with your power!
|
||
|
\q2 Do not forget those who are suffering!
|
||
|
|
||
|
\s5
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 13 Wicked people are always insulting you.
|
||
|
\q2 They think, "God will never punish us!"
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 14 But you see the trouble and the distress that they cause.
|
||
|
\q2 People who are suffering expect that you will help them,
|
||
|
\q2 and you help orphans, also.
|
||
|
|
||
|
\s5
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 15 Destroy the power of wicked and evil people!
|
||
|
\q2 Continue to pursue and punish them for the wicked things that they do until they stop doing those things.
|
||
|
\b
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 16 Yahweh, you are our king forever,
|
||
|
\q2 and you will drive out the foreign people groups from his land.
|
||
|
|
||
|
\s5
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 17 You have listened to suffering people when they cry out to you.
|
||
|
\q2 You hear them when they pray, and you encourage them.
|
||
|
\q1
|
||
|
\v 18 You defend the orphans and oppressed people from strong people who wish to harm them
|
||
|
\q2 so that no one has to worry or be terrified anymore.
