O Lord, why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide when I am in trouble? The wicked arrogantly hunt down the poor. Let them be caught in the evil they plan for others. For they brag about their evil desires; they praise the greedy and curse the Lord . . . Arise, O Lord! Punish the wicked, O God! Do not ignore the helpless . . . Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless . . . Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them. You will bring justice to the orphans and the oppressed, so mere people can no longer terrify them. (from Psalms)
