11. Sinful people say to themselves, "God doesn't pay any attention. He covers his face. He never sees us."
12. Lord, rise up! God, show your power! Don't forget those who are helpless.
13. Why do sinful people attack you with their words? Why do they say to themselves, "He won't hold us accountable"?
14. God, you see trouble and sadness. You take note of it. You do something about it. So those who are attacked place themselves in your care. You help children whose fathers have died.
15. Take away the power of bad and sinful people. Hold them accountable for the evil things they do. Uncover all the evil they have done.
16. The Lord is King for ever and ever. The nations will disappear from his land.
17. Lord, you hear the longings of those who are hurting. You cheer them up and give them hope. You listen to their cries.
