Psalm 10:12-18

Complete Jewish Bible

¹² Arise, Adonai! God, raise your hand!
Don’t forget the humble!
¹³ Why does the wicked despise God
and say in his heart, “It won’t be held against me”?
¹⁴ You have seen; for you look at mischief and grief,
so that you can take the matter in hand.
The helpless commits himself to you;
you help the fatherless.
¹⁵ Break the arm of the wicked!
As for the evil man,
search out his wickedness
until there is none left.

¹⁶ Adonai is king forever and ever!
The nations have vanished from his land.
¹⁷ Adonai, you have heard what the humble want;
you encourage them and listen to them,
¹⁸ to give justice to the fatherless and oppressed,
so that no one on earth will strike terror again.
