Psalm 10:17

17 You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted;
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,

NIV

~~~~~~~~~~

17-18 The victim's faint pulse picks up;
the hearts of the hopeless pump red blood
as you put your ear to their lips.
Orphans get parents,
the homeless get homes.
The reign of terror is over,
the rule of the gang lords is ended.
