Psalm 10:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ The Lord is King forever and ever.
    Destroy from your land those nations that do not worship you.
¹⁷ Lord, you have heard what the poor people want.
    Do what they ask, and listen to them.
¹⁸ Protect the orphans and put an end to suffering
    so they will no longer be afraid of evil people.
