Psalms 10:10-18

10His victims are crushed and beaten down; they are trapped in his sturdy nets.

11He says to himself, “God overlooks it; he does not pay attention; he never notices.”

12Rise up, Lord! O God, strike him down! Do not forget the oppressed!

13Why does the wicked man reject God? He says to himself, “You will not hold me accountable.”

14You have taken notice, for you always see one who inflicts pain and suffering. The unfortunate victim entrusts his cause to you; you deliver the fatherless.

15Break the arm of the wicked and evil man! Hold him accountable for his wicked deeds, which he thought you would not discover.

16The Lord rules forever! The nations are driven out of his land.

17Lord, you have heard the request of the oppressed; you make them feel secure because you listen to their prayer.

18You defend the fatherless and oppressed, so that mere mortals may no longer terrorize them.
