Psalm 10:13-18

Good News Translation

¹⁴ But you do see; you take notice of trouble and suffering
    and are always ready to help.
The helpless commit themselves to you;
    you have always helped the needy.

¹⁵ Break the power of wicked and evil people;
    punish them for the wrong they have done
    until they do it no more.

¹⁶ The Lord is king forever and ever.
    Those who worship other gods
    will vanish from his land.

¹⁷ You will listen, O Lord, to the prayers of the lowly;
    you will give them courage.
¹⁸ You will hear the cries of the oppressed and the orphans;
    you will judge in their favor,
    so that mortal men may cause terror no more.
