Psalm 10:12-18
New Living Translation
12 Arise, O Lord!
Punish the wicked, O God!
Do not ignore the helpless!
13 Why do the wicked get away with despising God?
They think, “God will never call us 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.
15 Break the arms of these wicked, evil people!
Go after them until the last one is destroyed.
16 The Lord is king forever and ever!
The godless nations will vanish from the land.
17 Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless.
Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them.
18 You will bring justice to the orphans and the oppressed,
so mere people can no longer terrify them.
Psalm 10:12-18
New International Version
12 Arise,(A) Lord! Lift up your hand,(B) O God.
Do not forget the helpless.(C)
13 Why does the wicked man revile God?(D)
Why does he say to himself,
“He won’t call me to account”?(E)
14 But you, God, see the trouble(F) of the afflicted;
you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;(G)
you are the helper(H) of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked man;(I)
call the evildoer to account for his wickedness
that would not otherwise be found out.
Psalm 10:12-18
King James Version
12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
16 The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
