Psalm 10:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 Break the arms of the sinner and the evildoer;
seek out the wicked
until no more endure.[a]
16 [b]The Lord is King forever and ever;
the heathen will disappear from his land.
17 You listen, O Lord, to the longings of the poor;
you strengthen their courage and heed their prayers.

- Psalm 10:16 The Lord is the hope of the righteous (the poor) in a just world, for he is King forever. Because he is faithful to his covenant, he will defeat the heathen for he listens to the longings of the poor and establishes justice for them. Hence, no one on earth is to be feared.
