1
hy, ADONAI, do you stand at a distance? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2
The wicked in their arrogance hunt down the poor, who get caught in the schemes they think up.
3
For the wicked boasts about his lusts; he blesses greed and despises ADONAI.
4
Every scheme of the wicked in his arrogance [says], "There is no God, [so] it won't be held against me."

6
In his heart he thinks, "I will never be shaken; I won't meet trouble, not now or ever."
