The Idahoan presents his paraphrase of the 10th Psalm. Lyrics: Why, oh Lord, art Thou far away, So Thy presence I cannot find? The wicked oppress the poor alway, And boast in the covetous schemes of their mind, For their mind is consumed by malignant pride, ‘Til they cannot conceive of Thy way. They puff out their chest as their foes they deride, Secure in their vanity. Their mouths are full of cursing and deceit, All their ways are mischief and fraud. In the shadows they murder the innocent; They have no fear of God. Arise, Oh Lord, Oh God most high, Hearken when the humble cry, All their oppression now behold, For the wicked are exceeding bold, Expecting no evil consequence. Oh, Lord, God, lift up Thine hand, Exact of them a recompense! Crush the wicked throughout the land! Break the power of those with ill intent! For all their mischief Thou hast seen, Thou knowest their malice and spite. The humble and poor Thou wilt redeem, For to you their souls they do commit. The Lord is king forever and Forever doth His kingdom stand, While the heathens perish from the land, For the Lord will purge out wickedness, Until He finds no more, He tends the hearts of the righteous, And their petition He doth hear, In justice to quell all their distress, That man shall no more man oppress!
