Psalms 10:12
10 They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
13 Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
14 But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
