10 Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide in times of trouble?
Comments by Dennis: Why does it seem like You’re not paying attention to what is happening? Where are You in times of trouble, Lord?
2 The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
Amen, Lord, let them be caught. Catch them. Lord. Expose their iniquity.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire;
He blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.
4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
God is in none of his thoughts.
5 His ways are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
6 He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
I shall never be in adversity.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
They make laws, Lord, to allow the mothers to slay their innocent children.
9 He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
10 So he crouches, he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by his strength.
11 He has said in his heart,
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”
12 Arise, O Lord!
O God, lift up Your hand!
Do not forget the humble.
Our cry, also, is, arise, O Lord. Judge the wicked. Raise up men and women of God to fight for Your cause, to fight against those that fight against You. Help us to raise our voices against the wicked and their evil devices.
13 Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
“You will not require an account.”
14 But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief,
To repay it by Your hand.
The helpless commits himself to You;
You are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;
Seek out his wickedness until You find none.
Amen, do it, Lord. The oppressors oppress and the poor man has no defence against the wicked who is rich and increased with goods and power. Bring them low, O Lord. Bring them low. Hear the cry of Your children around the world and save us from our enemies who are too strong for us. They vaccinate us for evil. They contaminate our food and give us refuse to eat. They fill our minds with evil and falsehoods so that our faith is weakened. Arise, O Lord, defend Your children. Let not the mighty men have dominion over us.
16 The Lord is King forever and ever;
The nations have perished out of His land.
17 Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will prepare their heart;
You will cause Your ear to hear,
18 To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,
That the man of the earth may oppress no more.
Do it, Lord Jesus. The time has come for You to send forth Your judgments upon the wicked. We implore You, Lord. Hold not back Your anger. Rebuke the wicked and the oppressor and the great men of the earth who through their sorceries deceive the whole world. Judge them, Lord. As they have chastised Your children, arise and chastise them. Destroy them that have destroyed the earth through their greed. Spare not, Lord. The time has come. Your children need Your strong arm. Have mercy upon us, O Lord. We commit ourselves unto You. Use us for Your glory and purpose that the world may know that You have sent us. In Jesus’ name we pray.
