12Rise up, O Yahweh; O God, lift up your hand. Do not forget the afflicted.

13Why does the wicked man despise God? He says in his heart, “You will not call to account.”

14You have seen, for you look upon trouble and grief, to take it in hand. The helpless commits himself to you; you have been the helper of the fatherless.

15Break the arm of the wicked man—the evildoer; seek out his wickedness until you find none.
