Another Midrash

God why do You make a mockery of me, when I just tell the nations the truth? Why do You give me into their hands, and cause them to have their way, and cause my vision to fail? Do You love sin? Do You love oppression and violence? Why do You cause the sinner to rejoice, and the repentant to be in misery? Why do You cause trouble for the righteous, and give a smooth way to the wicked? Selah… I know… for there is no righteous judgment in the land, and sin is elevated, therefore the righteous suffer, and must so until Thou establish truth again. Why do the selfish and abominable get their meat, and those who have waited for You for decades find themselves about to be cast out in shame? Why do You let the dogs have love, and the patient saints, who would do good with Your gifts, why do You cause them to pine after Your commandments? Do You favor the wicked? Selah. No, it is that the judgment is nigh the land, and the thieves, liars, dogs and sorcerers shall be brought to an end. For while my drink is shortened, and my needs are not met, You plentifully give shelter to the wicked, and I ask why? Why do You show favor to the wicked? Why do lies get established, and why is the truth cast down? Why are strange things being done, and nobody tells the truth? And the one who tells the truth, You strike as if a false prophet, and all Your people mock? No, LORD, establish me, for I am Your Servant and have not lied. Yet You gave me over to the Accusers and mockers, and have not established me. Yet, You shall at the time appointed, return and establish judgment. For I am Your servant. And I shall perpetually worship You. For You are good, and I seek Your face so mercy shall be set aside for me, great and tall, and I shall drink of living waters, and eat the fruit of life.
