Context of Psalms 10:12

10He croucheth, he boweth down, that the wretched may fall by his strong ones. 11He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth his face, he will never see [it]. Arise, Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the afflicted. 13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it]. 14Thou hast seen [it], for thou thyself beholdest trouble and vexation, to requite by thy hand. The wretched committeth himself unto thee; thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
