removed form his sight: he shall rule over all his
enemies.

9:6. For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation
to generation, and shall be without evil.

9:7. His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deciet:
under his tongue are labour and sorrow.

9:8. He sitteth in ambush with the rich, in private places, that he may
kill the innocent.

9:9. His eyes are upon the poor man: he lieth in wait, in secret, like a
lion in his den. He lieth in ambush, that he may catch the poor man: so
catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.

9:10. In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when
he shall have power over the poor.

wilt be a helper to the orphan.

shall be sought, and shall not be found.

9:16. The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye
Gentiles shall perish from his land.

preparatgion of their heart.

Psalms Chapter 10

In Domino confido.

The just man's confidence in God in the midst of persecutions.

10:1. Unto the end. A psalm to David.

10:2. In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: Get
thee away from hence to the mountain, like a sparrow.

10:3. For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow: they have prepared their
arows in the quiver, to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.

10:4. For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what
has the just man done?

10:5. The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven.
His eyes look on the poor man: his eyelids examine the sons of men.

10:6. The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth
iniquity, hateth his own soul.

10:7. He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone, and storms
of winds, shall be the portion of their cup.

10:8.
