14 But you do see!You do see troublemaking and grief,and you do something about it!The helpless leave it all to you.You are the orphan’s helper.
15 Break the arms of thosewho are wicked and evil.Seek out their wickednessuntil there’s no more to find.
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 justicefor the orphan and the oppressed,so that people of the landwill never again be terrified.
