2 Lord, how long do I have to cry out for help and you don’t listen? I cry out, "Violence!" but you don’t save us from it.
3 Why do you force me to see this wickedness and suffering? Why do you just observe such destruction and violence? Arguments and fighting happen right in front of me!
4 As a result the law is paralyzed, and justice never wins. The wicked crowd out those who do right so that the course of justice is perverted.
