12 Arise, O Lord!
O God, ^alift up Your hand!
Do not forget the ^bhumble. ‡

13 Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an account.”

14 But You have ^aseen, for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless ^bcommits himself to You;
^cYou are the helper of the fatherless. ‡

15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;
Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

16 ^aThe Lord is King forever and ever;
The nations have perished out of His land. ‡
