Psalm 10:12-18

Psalm 10:12-18

He Is There and He is Not Silent

Psa 10:12  Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. 

Psa 10:13  Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. 

Psa 10:14  Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. 

Psa 10:15  Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none. 

Psa 10:16  The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. 

Psa 10:17  LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: 

Psa 10:18  To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
