1
Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself] in times of trouble?
Waarom staan U ver af, o HERE? waarom verberg U uself in tye van benoudheid?

King James Version
AFR DVK
2
The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
Die goddelose in sy trots vervolg die arme: laat hulle gevang word in die toestelle wat hulle bedink het.
3
For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.
Want die goddelose roem oor die begeerte van sy hart, en seën die hebsugtige, wat die HERE verag.
4
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts.
Die goddelose, deur die trotsheid van sy aangesig, sal God nie soek nie: God is nie in al sy gedagtes nie.
5
His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far above out of his sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
Sy weë is altyd pynlik; u oordele is ver bo uit sy gesig: wat al sy vyande betref, hy blaas teen hulle.
6
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I shall] never [be] in adversity.
Hy het in sy hart gesê, Ek sal nie beweeg word nie: want ek sal nooit in teenspoed wees nie.
7
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue [is] mischief and vanity.
Sy mond is vol van vervloeking en bedrog en bedrieëry: onder sy tong is moeite en ongeregtigheid.
8
He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
Hy sit in die hinderlae van die dorpe: in die geheime plekke dood hy die onskuldige: sy oë is teen die armes in die geheim gestel.
9
He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
Hy lê in die geheim soos ’n leeu in sy hol: hy lê om die arme te vang: hy vang die arme, wanneer hy hom in sy net trek.
10
He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
Hy buk, hy kniel, dat die armes mag val deur sy sterk manne.
11
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see [it].
Hy het in sy hart gesê, God het vergeet: Hy verberg sy aangesig; Hy sal dit nooit sien nie.
12
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
Staan op, o HERE; o God, hef u hand op: vergeet nie die nederiges nie.
13
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it].
Waarom verag die goddelose God? hy het in sy hart gesê, U sal dit nie ondersoek nie.
14
Thou hast seen [it]; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
U het dit gesien; want U let op moeite en smart, om dit met u hand te vergeld: die arme gee homself aan U oor; U is die helper van die wees.
15
Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man]: seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none.
Breek die arm van die goddelose en die boos man: soek uit sy goddeloosheid totdat U niks vind nie.
16
The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
Die HERE is Koning vir ewig en altyd: die heidene is uit sy land vergaan.
17
LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
HERE, U het die begeerte van die nederiges gehoor: U sal hulle hart voorberei, U sal u oor laat hoor:
18
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
Om die wees en die verdrukte te oordeel, dat die mens van die aarde nie meer mag verdruk nie.
