His eyes watch in secret for his victims; 9 like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless;    he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net. 10 His victims are crushed, they collapse;    they fall under his strength. 11 He says to himself, “God will never notice;    he covers his face and never sees.” 12 Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God.    Do not forget the helpless. 13 Why does the wicked man revile God?    Why does he say to himself,    “He won’t call me to account”? 14 But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted;    you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you;    you are the helper of the fatherless. 15 Break the arm of the wicked man;    call the evildoer to account for his wickedness    that would not otherwise be found out. 16 The LORD is King for ever and ever;    the nations will perish from his land. 17 You, LORD, hear the desire of the afflicted;    you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, 18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed,    so that mere earthly mortals    will never again strike terror. </blockquote>
