³ For the wicked one boasts about his own cravings;^(C1)
the one who is greedy curses^(F1) and despises the Lord.^(C2)4 In all his scheming,
the wicked person arrogantly thinks,^(F1)
“There’s no accountability,
since there’s no God.”^(C1)5 His ways are always secure;^(F1)
your lofty judgments have no effect on him;^(F2)
he scoffs at all his adversaries.^(C1)6 He says to himself, “I will never be moved—
from generation to generation without calamity.”^(C1)7 Cursing, deceit, and violence fill his mouth;
trouble and malice are under his tongue.^(C1)8 He waits in ambush near settlements;^(C1)
he kills the innocent in secret places.
His eyes are on the lookout for the helpless;^(C2)9 he 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.¹⁰ So he is oppressed and beaten down;
helpless people fall because of the wicked one’s strength.^(C1)11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten;
he hides his face and will never see.”^(C1)

¹² Rise up, Lord God! Lift up your hand.^(C1)
Do not forget the oppressed.^(C2)13 Why has the wicked person despised God?
He says to himself, “You will not demand an account.”^(C1)14 But you yourself have seen trouble and grief,
observing it in order to take the matter into your hands.^(C1)
The helpless one entrusts himself to you;
you are a helper of the fatherless.^(C2)15 Break the arm of the wicked, evil person,^(C1)
until you look for his wickedness,
but it can’t be found.^(C2)

¹⁶ The Lord is King forever and ever;^(C1)
the nations will perish from his land.^(C2)17 Lord, you have heard the desire of the humble;
you will strengthen their hearts.
You will listen carefully,^(C1)18 doing justice for the fatherless and the oppressed
so that mere humans from the earth may terrify them no more.^(C1)
