O Lord, why do you stand so far away? 

Why do you hide when I am in trouble? 

But you see the trouble and grief they cause. 

You take note of it and punish them.

The helpless put their trust in you. 

You defend the orphans. 

The Lord is KING forever and ever! 

 Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless. 

Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them. 

You will bring justice to the orphans and the oppressed, 

so mere people can no longer terrify them.
