12 Rise up, Lord God! Lift up your hand.(A)
Do not forget the oppressed.(B)
13 Why has the wicked person despised God?
He says to himself, “You will not demand an account.”(C)
14 But you yourself have seen trouble and grief,
observing it in order to take the matter into your hands.(D)
The helpless one entrusts himself to you;
you are a helper of the fatherless.(E)
15 Break the arm of the wicked, evil person,(F)
until you look for his wickedness,
but it can’t be found.(G)

16 The Lord is King forever and ever;(H)
the nations will perish from his land.(I)
17 Lord, you have heard the desire of the humble;
you will strengthen their hearts.
You will listen carefully,(J)
18 doing justice for the fatherless and the oppressed
so that mere humans from the earth may terrify them no more.(K)
