1 Lord, why do You stand so far away? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2 In arrogance the wicked relentlessly pursue the afflicted;let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.
3 For the wicked one boasts about his own cravings; the one who is greedy curses and despises the Lord.
4 In all his scheming,the wicked arrogantly thinks: “There is no accountability,since God does not exist.”
