31 He bends, he leans down, and the poor fall into his mighty claws;

32 He says in his heart, [God has forgotten, He has covered His face, He will never see].

33 Arise, O Lord [my] God, lift up thy hand, and forget not those who are oppressed [to the end].

34 Why does the wicked despise God, saying in his heart, "Thou shalt not seek"?

35 Thou seest, for thou lookest upon injury and oppression, that thou mayest repay by thy hand. To Thee the poor man commits himself; Thou art a helper to the orphan.

36 Break the arm of the wicked and wicked, so that you may seek and not find his wickedness.

37 The Lord is king for ever, forever; the Gentiles shall perish from His land.

38 Lord! You hear the desires of the humble; strengthen their hearts; Open Thy ear,

39 To give judgment to the fatherless and the oppressed, let no more man be afraid, on the earth.

Psalm 10

To the head of the choir. Psalm of David.

1 In the Lord I trust; How then do you say to my soul: "Fly away to your mountain like a bird"?

2 For behold, the wicked have drawn their bows, and have put their arrows to the string, that in darkness they may shoot at the upright in heart.

3 When the foundations are broken, what will the righteous do?

4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD, his throne is in heaven, and his eyes behold [the poor]; His eyelids test the sons of men.

5 The Lord tries the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the lover of violence.

6 With rain he will pour out burning coals, fire and brimstone on the wicked; and the scorching wind is their share of the cup;

7 for the Lord is righteous, he loves righteousness; He sees the righteous man in His face.

Psalm 11

1 To the head of the choir. On an eight-string one. Psalm of David.

2 Save me, O Lord, for the righteous is no more, for there is none faithful among the sons of men.
