Psalm 10:18

 1 Why  do You stand far away, Lord? Why  do You hide  Yourself in times of trouble?  2 In  arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the needy;  Let them be  caught in the plots which they have devised.  3 For the wicked  boasts of his  soul’s desire, And  the greedy person curses and shows disrespect to the Lord.  4 The wicked,  in his haughtiness,  does not seek Him.  There is no God in all his schemes.  5 His ways  succeed at all times; Yet Your judgments are on high,  out of his sight; As for all his enemies, he snorts at them.  6 He says to himself, “ I will not be moved;  Throughout the generations  I will not be in adversity.”  7 His  mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and  oppression;  Under his tongue is harm and injustice.  8 He sits in the  lurking places of the villages; He  kills the innocent in the secret places; His eyes  surreptitiously watch for the   unfortunate.  9 He lurks in secret like  a lion in his  lair; He  lurks to catch  the needy; He catches the needy when he pulls him into his  net.  10 Then he crushes the needy one, who cowers; And  unfortunate people fall by his mighty power.  11 He  says to himself, “God has forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”  12 Arise, Lord; God,  lift up Your hand.  Do not forget the humble.  13 Why has the wicked  treated God disrespectfully? He has said to himself, “ You will not require an account.”  14 You have seen it, for You have looked at  harm and provocation to  take it into Your hand. The   unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the  helper of the orphan.  15  Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,   Seek out his wickedness until You find none.  16 The Lord is  King forever and ever;  Nations have perished from His land.  17 Lord, You have heard the  desire of the humble; You will  strengthen their heart,  You will make Your ear attentive  18 To  vindicate the  orphan and the  oppressed, So that mankind, which is of the earth, will no longer cause  terror.

From Wikipedia: The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is an English translation of the Bible. Published by the Lockman Foundation, the first NASB text—a translation of the Gospel of John—was released in 1960. The NASB New Testament was released in 1963. The complete NASB Bible was released in 1971. The NASB is a revision of the American Standard Version.

The Lockman Foundation claims that the NASB "has been widely embraced as a literal and accurate English translation because it consistently uses the formal equivalence translation philosophy."
