Psalm 10:12-18

English Standard Version

^12 (A)Arise, O Lord; O God, ^(B)lift up your hand;
    ^(C)forget not the afflicted.
¹³ Why does the wicked ^(D)renounce God
    and say in his heart, “You will not ^(E)call to account”?
¹⁴ But you do see, for you ^(F)note mischief and vexation,
    that you may take it into your hands;
to you the helpless ^(G)commits himself;
    you have been ^(H)the helper of the fatherless.
^15 (I)Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer;
    ^(J)call his wickedness to account till you find none.

^16 (K)The Lord is king forever and ever;
    the ^(L)nations perish from his land.
¹⁷ O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted;
    you will ^(M)strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear
¹⁸ to ^(N)do justice to the fatherless and ^(O)the oppressed,
    so that ^(P)man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.
