14 Wherefore should the wicked blaspheme God: while he doth say in
his heart, Tush, thou God carest not for it.
15 Surely thou hast seen it: for thou beholdest ungodliness and
wrong.
16 That thou mayest take the matter into thy hand: the poor
committeth himself unto thee; for thou art the helper of the
friendless.
17 Break thou the power of the ungodly and malicious: take away
his ungodliness, and thou shalt find none.
18 The Lord is King for ever and ever: and the heathen are perished
out of the land.
19 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the poor: thou preparest
their heart, and thine ear hearkeneth thereto;
20 To help the fatherless and poor unto their right: that the man
of the earth be no more exalted against them.
PSALM 11. _In Domino confido_.
In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye then to my soul, that she
should flee as a bird unto the hill?
2 For lo, the ungodly bend their bow, and make ready their arrows
within the quiver: that they may privily shoot at them which are
true of heart.
3 For the foundations will be cast down: and what hath the righteous
done?
