Psalm 10:16–18

The Lord is king forever and ever;

the nations perish from his land.

O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted;

you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear

to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,

so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.

The Lord is King for ever and ever;

the nations will perish from his land.

You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;

you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,

defending the fatherless and the oppressed,

so that mere earthly mortals

will never again strike terror.

The Lord is king forever and ever!

The godless nations will vanish from the land.

Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless.

Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them.

You will bring justice to the orphans and the oppressed,

so mere people can no longer terrify them.

Yahweh is king forever and ever;

the nations have perished from his land.

The longing of the afflicted you have heard, O Yahweh.

You will make their heart secure. You will listen attentively

to render judgment for the fatherless and the oppressed

so that a mere mortal from the earth will no longer cause terror.

The Lord is King for ever and ever:

The heathen are perished out of his land.

Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble:

Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed,

That the man of the earth may no more oppress.
