Psalm 10:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵Now break the power
of all merciless people.
Punish them for doing wrong
and make them stop.

¹⁶Our Lord, you will always rule,
but every godless nation
    will vanish from the earth.
¹⁷You listen to the longings
    of those who suffer.
You offer them hope,
and you pay attention
    to their cries for help.
