Psalm 10:12-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
12 Arise, O Lord; O God, (A)lift up Your hand.
(B)Do not forget the afflicted.
13 Why has the wicked (C)spurned God?
He has said to himself, “You will not require it.”
14 You have seen it, for You have beheld (D)mischief and vexation to [a]take it into Your hand.
The [b](E)unfortunate commits himself to You;
You have been the (F)helper of the orphan.
15 (G)Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,
[c](H)Seek out his wickedness until You find none.
16 The Lord is (I)King forever and ever;
(J)Nations have perished from His land.
17 O Lord, You have heard the (K)desire of the [d]humble;
You will (L)strengthen their heart, (M)You will incline Your ear
18 To [e]vindicate the (N)orphan and the (O)oppressed,
So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause (P)terror.
