Why YHWH do you stand far away?
Why do you hide in times of trouble-
when the pride of the wicked burns the weak?
Let them be caught up by the schemes that they make!

It’s not right. You know it. I know it. God of God and light of light. Where are you? It is a black and white problem. You are greater and stronger and bigger and more than any of the evil or wicked. It is not right. They are not right. YHWH, why do you just stand hidden and watch?

Certainly the wicked praises the his own self-desire
He blesses the profit-seeker
He rejects YHWH

Every time, every generation. It is the same problem. The desire of his heart. His self-made god. His internal authority. He only cares about his own needs, his own gut, his own bank account. He worships those like him. Focused, profitable, ruthless. It’s the same problem. Wicked stands only for himself. He stands against YHWH.

The wicked, according to his pride, will not seek you.
“There is no God” are all of his schemes.
His ways endure all the time.

Your judgements are high away from him.
All who are hostile to him - he snorts against them.

He says in his heart: “I will not be shaken.”
“Forever and ever, I am the one who is not wrong.”

He is the Lord of “there is no God.” And so what? Let him do his thing? It won’t hurt anyone else?
