2 O LORD, until when shall I cry and You will not hear? I cry out to You [of] violence, and You do not save!

3 Why do You show me evil, and You look on toil? For destruction and violence [are] before me; and there is strife, and contention rises up.

4 Therefore the law has become helpless, and justice does not always go forth. For the wicked entraps the righteous; therefore justice goes forth, being perverted.
