Psalm 10:12-18 NIRV

Psalm 10:12-18

Lord, rise up! God, show your power!

Don’t forget those who are helpless.

Why do sinful people attack you with their words?

Why do they say to themselves,

“He won’t hold us accountable”?

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.

Take away the power of sinful people.

Hold them accountable for the evil things they do.

Uncover all the evil they have done.

The Lord is King for ever and ever.

The nations will disappear from his land.

Lord, you hear the desires of those who are hurting.

You cheer them up and give them hope.

You listen to their cries.

You stand up for those whose fathers have died

and for those who have been treated badly.

You do it so that mere human beings made of dust

may not terrify others anymore.
