Psalm 10
- Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
- In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.
- He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
- In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
- His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies.
- He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.” He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”
- His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.
- He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
- like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
- His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength.
- He says to himself, “God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.”
- Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.
- Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, “He won’t call me to account”?
- But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
- Break the arm of the wicked man; call the evildoer to account for his wickedness that would not otherwise be found out.
- The Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.
- You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
- defending the fatherless and the oppressed, so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.
Pray, hope, meditate, count your rosary - do whatever you think will ease your mind.
But know this: god is not coming to help you.
We save ourselves from this ungodly shit, or we won't be saved at all.
