14. But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
15. Break the arm of the wicked man; call the evildoer to account for his wickedness that would not otherwise be found out.
16. The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.
17. You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
18. defending the fatherless and the oppressed, so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.
