His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression;

Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.

In the hiding places he kills the innocent;

His eyes [fn]stealthily watch for the [fn]unfortunate.

Arise, O Yahweh; O God, lift up Your hand.

Do not forget the afflicted.

He has said in his heart, “You will not require it.”

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 10:14 -

Resh

You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to [fn]take it into Your hand.

The [fn]unfortunate commits himself to You;

You have been the helper of the orphan.

Shin

Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,

[fn]Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

Nations have perished from His land.

O Yahweh, You have heard the desire of the [fn]humble;

You will strengthen their heart, You will cause Your ear to give heed

To give justice to the orphan and the oppressed,

So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror.
