Psalms 10:10-18

10He 1crouches, he 2bows down, And the 3unfortunate fall 4by his mighty ones.11He 5says to himself, “God has forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”

12Arise, O Lord; O God, 6lift up Your hand. 7Do not forget the afflicted.13Why has the wicked 8spurned God? He has said to himself, “You will not require it.”14You have seen it, for You have beheld 9mischief and vexation to 10take it into Your hand. The 11 12unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the 13helper of the orphan.15 14Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer, 15 16Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

16The Lord is 17King forever and ever; 18Nations have perished from His land.17O Lord, You have heard the 19desire of the 20humble; You will 21strengthen their heart, 22You will incline Your ear18To 23vindicate the 24orphan and the 25oppressed, So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause 26terror.
