Does God care about those who have been wounded?

In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,
who are caught in the schemes he devises . . .

He lies in wait like a lion in cover; he lies in wait to catch the helpless;
he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net . . .

But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless . . .

You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more. from Psalm 10

Is there a remedy for the wounded; those who feel discouraged & helpless?
