Psalm 10:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ The Lord rules forever and always!
    The nations will vanish from his land.

¹⁷ Lord, you listen to the desires of those who suffer.
    You steady their hearts;
you listen closely to them,
¹⁸     to establish justice
        for the orphan and the oppressed,
    so that people of the land
        will never again be terrified.
