“If I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I receive no answer; I cry for help, but there is no justice.

I cry out to you, but you do not answer me; I stand up, and you only look at me.

I go about blackened, but not by the sun; in the assembly I stand up and cry for help.

In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried out to my God. From his heavenly temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help.
