Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 10 of Psalms. Psalm 10 begins with the unsettling experience that God seems distant while the wicked prosper. The text describes in detail the arrogance, exploitation, and violence of the one who thinks God will not intervene. Yet the prayer ends by affirming that the Lord does see affliction and sustains the orphan and the oppressed. The psalm thus turns the initial protest into a confession that the apparent absence of justice does not mean an absence of divine knowledge.

Stehe auf, HERR; Gott, erhebe deine Hand; vergiß der Elenden nicht!
Levántate, oh Jehová Dios, alza tu mano, No te olvides de los pobres.
¡Levántate, Jehová! ¡Dios, alza tu mano! ¡No te olvides de los afligidos!
Lève-toi, Eternel! ô Dieu, lève ta main! N'oublie pas les malheureux!
Levati, Signore; o Dio, alza la tua mano; Non dimenticare i poveri afflitti.
Levanta-te, SENHOR. Ó Deus, levanta a tua mão; não te esqueças dos humildes.
耶和華啊,求你興起! 上帝啊,求你舉手! 不要忘記困苦人!
