¹⁵ Take hold of the arm of the wicked, evil man!
    Break it and take away his strength!
Punish him for the bad things that he has done,
    so that he has to stop.
¹⁶ The Lord will rule as king for ever!
The nations who do not serve him
    will not remain in his land.
¹⁷ You, Lord, hear the prayers
    of people who are suffering.
When they ask you to help them,
    you make them feel strong.
