13. The wicked turn against God because they think he will not punish them.
14. But, Lord, you do see the pain and suffering they cause. You see it, so punish them. Those who were left helpless put their trust in you. After all, you are the one who cares for orphans.
15. Break the arms of those who are wicked and evil. Punish them for the evil they have done, and stop them from doing any more.
16. Lord, you are King forever and ever, so I know you will remove the wicked nations from your land.
17. Lord, you have heard what the poor want. Listen to their prayers, and do what they ask.
