New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
12 Arise, O LORD ! Punish the wicked, O God! Do not ignore the helpless!
12
Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.
13 Why do the wicked get away with despising God? They think, “God will never call us to account.”
13
Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, “He won’t call me to account”?
14 But you see the trouble and grief they cause. You take note of it and punish them. The helpless put their trust in you. You defend the orphans.
14
But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break the arms of these wicked, evil people! Go after them until the last one is destroyed.
15
Break the arm of the wicked man; call the evildoer to account for his wickedness that would not otherwise be found out.
