Psalm 10:17

A Prayer For God To Throw Down The Wicked

¹⁶ The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations are gone from his land. ¹⁷ Lord, you have given ear to the prayer of the poor: you will make strong their hearts, you will give them a hearing: ¹⁸ To give decision for the child without a father and for the broken-hearted, so that the man of the earth may no longer be feared.
