Context of Psalms 10:12
10Then he crushes the needy one, who cowers; And unfortunate people fall by his mighty power. 11He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never see it.” Arise, Lord; God, lift up Your hand. Do not forget the humble. 13Why has the wicked treated God disrespectfully? He has said to himself, “You will not require an account.” 14You have seen it, for You have looked at harm and provocation to take it into Your hand. The unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the helper of the orphan.
