State of the Union

Here is a good translation of the state of the union address;
Psalms 10:1-11 KJV 1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? 2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. {The wicked...: Heb. In the pride of the wicked he doth persecute} 3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. {heart's: Heb. soul's} {blesseth...: or, the covetous blesseth himself, he abhorreth the LORD} 4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. {God is...: or, all his thoughts are, There is no God} 5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. {never: Heb. unto generation and generation} 7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. {deceit: Heb. deceits} {vanity: or, iniquity} 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. {are...: Heb. hide themselves} 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. {secretly: Heb. in the secret places} 10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. {He...: Heb. He breaketh himself} {by...: or, into his strong parts} 11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
