Psalm 13:1-6 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide your face from me? 2 How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? 3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, 4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. 5 But I have trusted in Your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. 6 I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.

Psalm 12:1-8 Save, O Lord, for the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man. 2 Everyone utters lies to his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak. 3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that makes great boasts, 4 those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are with us; who is master over us?” 5 “Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.” 6 The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times. 7 You, O Lord, will keep them; You will guard us from this generation forever. 8 On every side the wicked prowl, as vileness is exalted among the children of man.

Psalm 11:1-7 In the Lord I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain. 2 For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. 3 When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” 4 The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord is on His heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; His eyes examine them. 5 The Lord examines the righteous,  but the wicked, those who love violence, He hates with a passion. 6 On the wicked He will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur;a scorching wind will be their lot. 7 For the Lord is righteous, He loves justice; the upright will see His face.

Psalm 10:1-18 Why, O Lord, do You stand far away? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble? 2 In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. 3 For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord. 4 In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek Him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.” 5 His ways prosper at all times; Your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them. 6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.” 7 His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity. 8 He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless; 9he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net. 10 The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might. 11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten He has hidden His face, He will never see it.”
12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Your hand; forget not the afflicted. 13 Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”? 14 But You do see, for You note mischief and vexation, that You may take it into Your hands; to You the helpless commits himself; You have been the helper of the fatherless. 15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till You find none. 16 The Lord is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land. 17 O Lord, You hear the desire of the afflicted; You will strengthen their heart; You will incline Your ear 18 to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.

Psalm 9:1-20 I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of Your wonderful deeds.2 I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. 3 When my enemies turn back,   they stumble and perish before Your presence. 4For You have maintained my just cause; You have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment. 5 You have rebuked the nations; You have made the wicked perish; You have blotted out their name forever and ever. 6 The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins; their cities You rooted out; the very memory of them has perished. 7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever; He has established His throne for justice, 8 and He judges the world with righteousness; He judges the peoples with uprightness. 9The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble 10 And those who know Your name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. 11 Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion! Tell among the peoples His deeds! 12 For He who avenges blood is mindful of them; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.13 Be gracious to me, O Lord! See my affliction from those who hate me, O You who lift me up from the gates of death, 14 that I may recount all Your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation. 15 The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught. 16 The Lord has made Himself known; He has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Selah 17 The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God. 18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever. 19 Arise, O Lord! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before You! 20 Put them in fear, O Lord! Let the nations know that they are but men!
