New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Why standest Thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of trouble?
|
1 Why, O LORD, do you stand far off ? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
|
|
2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor; let them be caught in the devices that they have contrived.
|
2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.
|
|
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous whom the LORD abhorreth.
|
3 He boasts of the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
|
|
4 The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God; God is not in all his thoughts.
|
4 In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
|
|
5 His ways are always grievous; Thy judgments are far above, out of his sight; as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
|
5 His ways are always prosperous; he is haughty and your laws are far from him; he sneers at all his enemies.
|
|
6 He hath said in his heart, "I shall not be moved, for I shall never be in adversity."
|
6 He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me; I'll always be happy and never have trouble."
