A Prayer for Justice

10 Why are you so far away, O Lord?
    Why do you hide yourself when we are in trouble?
The wicked are proud and persecute the poor;
    catch them in the traps they have made.

The wicked are proud of their evil desires;
    the greedy curse and reject the Lord.
The wicked do not care about the Lord;
    in their pride they think that God doesn't matter.

The wicked succeed in everything.
    They cannot understand God's judgments;
    they sneer at their enemies.
They say to themselves, “We will never fail;
    we will never be in trouble.”
