Psalms 10:17
15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
18 to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
