15. Now break the armsof all merciless people.Punish them for doing wrongand make them stop.
16. Our Lord, you will always rule,but nations will vanishfrom the earth.
17. You listen to the longingsof those who suffer.You offer them hope,and you pay attentionto their cries for help.
18. You defend orphansand everyone else in need,so that no one on earthcan terrify others again.
