Psalm 10 — Psalms 10:17–11:3

Jehovah, thou hast heard the desire of the meek:
Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear;

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed,
That man who is of the earth may be terrible no more.

In Jehovah do I take refuge:
How say ye to my soul,
Flee as a bird to your mountain;

For, lo, the wicked bend the bow,
They make ready their arrow upon the string,
That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;

If the foundations be destroyed,
What can the righteous do?
