Psalm 10:16-18, ESV
The LORD is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land. O LORD, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.
Psalm 10:16-18, JN paraphrase
The ear of the LORD. The LORD, King forever, banish-er of nations, the ear of the afflicted, the bringer of justice to the fatherless and oppressed, the One who insures that Satan will strike terror no more against the Lord’s own.

Providence by John Piper. Piper takes two words, “God’s Benefice,” replaces it with one word, “Providence” and then takes 704 pages to explain what he means. Truly a delightful read.
