Psalms 10:10-18

10The victim is crushed, brought down, and falls into his mighty claws.

11He says in his heart: “God has forgotten. He hides His face—He will never see it.”

12Arise, Adonai! O God, lift up Your hand. Do not forget the afflicted.

13Why does the wicked one revile God? He says in his heart: “You will never require anything.”

14You saw—for You see trouble and grief, to take it in Your hand. The victim puts his trust in You— You are the helper of the orphan.

15Break the arm of the wicked, evil one! Call him to account for his wickedness— until no more is found.

16Adonai is King forever and ever! Nations will be wiped off His land.

17You hear, Adonai, the desire of the meek. You encourage them and incline Your ear.

18You vindicate the orphan and oppressed, so that man, who is earthly, may terrify no more.
