Psalms 10 Prayer for Justice

Why O Lord do you stand afar? Why hide from us in times of distress?
The wicked are in power; the weak suffer harrassment; the poor become victims of evil schemes.
The exploiter wallows in his power and greed; the covetous blasphemes and renounces God.
In his pride the wicked says, "There is no God to call me to account."
The wicked prosper in their ways, your laws are too far from their minds; haughtily they sneer at their rivals, each on saying to himself, "Nothing will trouble me. I am secure, powerful and happy."
His mouth is full of curses, deceit and threats; spite and mischief are under his tongue.
He lies in ambush near the villages, murdering the innocent and the unfortunate, spying upon his next victim.
He lurks in secret, like a lion in its covert, waiting to seize his prey and drag him off in a net.
Stooping, lying prone or crouching, he waits till the hapless victim falls into his power.
He thinks to himself, "God has forgotten; he has hidden his face and will never see this."
Rise, Lord, O God, raise your hand, do not forget the afflicted.
Why do the wicked revile God and assure themselves, saying, "He cannot hold me accountable for what I do"?
But you see those in misery, O God, and you take it in hand. The unfortunate commits himself to you; the orphan turns to you for help.
Break the power of the wicked - seek out their wickedness till there is none to be found.
The Lord is king forever and ever; the oppressors are doomed to vanish from his land.
You hear, O Lord, the longings of the afflicted, and you strengthen their hearts; you give heed to the miserable plight of the orphans and the exploited. Let no human raise from earth and strike terror.
