2
O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not listen? Or cry to you "Violence!" and you will not save?
3
Why do you make me see wrongdoing and look at trouble? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise.
4
So the law becomes slack and justice never prevails. The wicked surround the righteous— therefore judgment comes forth perverted.
