A Cry for God's Presence

Psalms 10:1

Showing verse 1 with surrounding context.

Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,

Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.

Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.

The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. `God is not!' are all his devices.
