Christian Standard Bible

International Standard Version

1LORD, why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide in times of trouble?

1 Why do you stand far away, LORD? Why do you hide in times of distress?

2In arrogance the wicked relentlessly pursue their victims; let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.

2The wicked one arrogantly pursues the afflicted, who are trapped in the schemes he devises.

3For the wicked one boasts about his own cravings; the one who is greedy curses and despises the LORD.

3For the wicked one boasts about his own desire; he blesses the greedy and despises the LORD.

4In all his scheming, the wicked person arrogantly thinks, "There's no accountability, since there's no God."

4With haughty arrogance, the wicked thinks, "God will not seek justice." He always presumes "There is no God."

5His ways are always secure; your lofty judgments have no effect on him; he scoffs at all his adversaries.

5Their ways always seem prosperous. Your judgments are on high, far away from them. They scoff at all their enemies.

6He says to himself, "I will never be moved--from generation to generation without calamity."

6They say to themselves, "We will not be moved throughout all time, and we will not experience adversity."

7Cursing, deceit, and violence fill his mouth; trouble and malice are under his tongue.

7Their mouth is full of curses, lies, and oppression, their tongues spread trouble and iniquity.

8He waits in ambush near settlements; he kills the innocent in secret places. His eyes are on the lookout for the helpless;

8They wait in ambush in the villages, they kill the innocent in secret.

9he lurks in secret like a lion in a thicket. He lurks in order to seize a victim; he seizes a victim and drags him in his net.

9Their eyes secretly watch the helpless, lying in wait like a lion in his den. They lie in wait to catch the afflicted. They catch the afflicted when they pull him into their net.

10So he is oppressed and beaten down; helpless people fall because of the wicked one's strength.

10The victim is crushed, and he sinks down; the helpless fall by their might.

11He says to himself, "God has forgotten; he hides his face and will never see."

11The wicked say to themselves, "God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it."

12Rise up, LORD God! Lift up your hand. Do not forget the oppressed.

12Rise up, LORD! Raise your hand, God. Don't forget the afflicted!

13Why has the wicked person despised God? He says to himself, "You will not demand an account."

13Why do the wicked despise God and say to themselves, "God will not seek justice."?

14But you yourself have seen trouble and grief, observing it in order to take the matter into your hands. The helpless one entrusts himself to you; you are a helper of the fatherless.

14But you do see! You take note of trouble and grief in order to take the matter into your own hand. The helpless one commits himself to you; you have been the orphan's helper.

15Break the arm of the wicked, evil person, until you look for his wickedness, but it can't be found.

15Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; so that when you seek out his wickedness you will find it no more.

16The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.

16The LORD is king forever and ever; nations will perish from his land.

17LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble; you will strengthen their hearts. You will listen carefully,

17LORD, you heard the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen them, you will listen carefully,

18doing justice for the fatherless and the oppressed so that mere humans from the earth may terrify them no more.

18to do justice for the orphan and the oppressed, so that men of the earth may cause terror no more.
