Psalms 10:11-18

11He says to himself, “God has forgotten. He has hidden his face. He will never see it!”

12Arise, O Lord! Lift your hand, O God. Do not forget oppressed people!

13Why does the wicked person despise God? Why does he say to himself, “God doesn’t care”?

14You have seen ⌞it⌟; yes, you have taken note of trouble and grief and placed them under your control. The victim entrusts himself to you. You alone have been the helper of orphans.

15Break the arm of the wicked and evil person. Punish his wickedness until you find no more.

16The Lord is king forever and ever. The nations have vanished from his land.

17You have heard the desire of oppressed people, O Lord. You encourage them. You pay close attention to them

18in order to provide justice for orphans and oppressed people so that no mere mortal will terrify them again.
