Psalms 10:9-18

9 he lurks in ambush like 1a lion in his 2thicket; he 3lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his 4net.
10 The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might.
11 He says in his heart, "God has forgotten, he has 5hidden his face, he 6will never see it."
12 7Arise, O LORD; O God, 8lift up your hand; 9forget not the afflicted.
13 Why does the wicked 10renounce God and say in his heart, "You will not 11call to account"?
14 But you do see, for you 12note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into your hands; to you the helpless 13commits himself; you have been 14the helper of the fatherless.
15 15Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; 16call his wickedness to account till you find none.
16 17The LORD is king forever and ever; the 18nations perish from his land.
17 O LORD, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will 19strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear
18 to 20do justice to the fatherless and 21the oppressed, so that 22man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.
