A Song of confidence in God's Triumph over Evil

WHY do You stand afar off,
O LORD?
Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?
The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor;
Let them be caught in the plots
which they have devised.
For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire:
He blesses the greedy and renounces the LORD.
The wicked in his proud
countenance does not seek God;
God is in none of his thoughts.
His ways are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
He has said in his heart,
" I shall not be moved;
I shall never be in adversity"
His mouth is full of cursing and 
deceit and oppresion;
Under his tongue is trouble and inquity.
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.
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.
So he crouches, he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by his strength.
He has said in his heart,
" God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see it."
Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up Your hand!
Do not forget the humble.
Why do the wicked renounce God?
He has said in his heart,
" You will not require an account."
But You have seen it, 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.
Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;
Seek out his wickedness until You find none.
The LORD is King forever and ever;
The nations have perished out of His land.
LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will prepare their heart;
You will cause Your ear to hear,
To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,
That the man of the earth may oppress no more.
