Psalm 9:34-39 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

34. How has the impious one provoked God? For he has said in his heart, "He will not inquire."

35. You do see, for you examine hardship and sorrow, so that you may deliver them into your hands. The poor one has been abandoned to you. You will be a helper to the orphan.

36. Break the arm of the sinner and the malicious. His sin will be sought, and it will not be found.

37. The Lord shall reign in eternity, even forever and ever. You will perish the Gentiles from his land.

38. The Lord has heeded the desire of the poor. Your ear has listened to the preparation of their heart,

39. so as to judge for the orphan and the humble, so that man may no longer presume to magnify himself upon the earth.
