14 Surely, God, you see what is happening.
You see how wicked people bring pain and trouble.
    You decide what to do about it.
The weak person trusts that you will help him.
You take care of children who have no father.
15 Take hold of the arm of the wicked, evil man!
    Break it and take away his strength!
Punish him for the bad things that he has done,
    so that he has to stop.
16 The Lord will rule as king for ever!
The nations who do not serve him
    will not remain in his land.
