ou that liftest me up from the gates of
death.

14 That I may shew all thy praises within the ports of the daughter
of Sion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the same
net which they hid privily, is their foot taken.

16 The Lord is known to execute judgement: the ungodly is trapped
in the work of his own hands.

17 The wicked shall be turned into hell: and all the people that
forget God.

18 For the poor shall not alway be forgotten: the patient abiding
of the meek shall not perish for ever.

19 Up, Lord, and let not man have the upper hand: let the heathen
be judged in thy sight.

20 Put them in fear, O Lord: that the heathen may know themselves
to be but men.

PSALM 10. _Ut quid, Domine?_

Why standest thou so far off, O Lord: and hidest thy face in the
needful time of trouble?

2 The ungodly for his own lust doth persecute the poor: let them
be taken in the crafty wiliness that they have imagined.

3 For the ungodly hath made boast of his own heart's desire: and
speaketh good of the covetous, whom God abhorreth.

are set against the poor.

9 For he lieth waiting secretly, even as a lion lurketh he in his
den: that he may ravish the poor.

10 He doth ravish the poor: when he getteth him into his net.

11 He falleth down, and humbleth himself: that the congregation of
the poor may fall into the hands of his captains.

12 He hath said in his heart, Tush, God hath forgotten: he hideth
away his face, and he will never see it.

13 Arise, O Lord God, and lift up thine hand: forget not the poor.

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
