Psalm 10:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² Lord, rise up! God, show your power!
    Don’t forget those who are helpless.
¹³ Why do sinful people attack you with their words?
    Why do they say to themselves,
    “He won’t hold us accountable”?
¹⁴ God, you see the problems of people in trouble.
    You take note of their pain. You do something about it.
So those who are attacked place themselves in your care.
    You help children whose fathers have died.
