1 Why, Lord, do you stand far off?Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3 He boasts about the cravings of his heart;he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
