Psalm 10:14-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ But you see the trouble
and the distress,
    and you will do something.
The poor can count on you,
    and so can orphans.
¹⁵ Now break the power
    of all merciless people.
Punish them for doing wrong
    and make them stop.

¹⁶ Our Lord, you will always rule,
but every godless nation
    will vanish from the earth.
