Why does the Eternal hide from trouble,
When the poor are persecuted double?
Let the crooked fall into their own snare
Light the path of the upright to be ware
The proud heart boasts with greedy desire
Relies on self only to aspire
There is no humility of faith’s trust
In grievous vanity they are unjust
Full of cursing, fraud and deceit they lurk
In secret against the poor they do work
Those who rely on heaven for their aid
Will receive the help for which they have prayed
The Eternal does not hide from the poor
In salvation on eagle’s wings will soar
Psalm 10:17 “LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble:
thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: “
