Psalms 10:10-18

10So he is oppressed and beaten down; helpless people fall because of the wicked one’s strength.

11He says to himself, “God has forgotten; he hides his face and will never see.”

12Rise up, Lord God! Lift up your hand. Do not forget the oppressed.

13Why has the wicked person despised God? He says to himself, “You will not demand an account.”

14But you yourself have seen trouble and grief, observing it in order to take the matter into your hands. The helpless one entrusts himself to you; you are a helper of the fatherless.

15Break the arm of the wicked, evil person, until you look for his wickedness, but it can’t be found.

16The Lord is King forever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.

17Lord, you have heard the desire of the humble; you will strengthen their hearts. You will listen carefully,

18doing justice for the fatherless and the oppressed so that mere humans from the earth may terrify them no more.
