Psalms 10:1

Discouragement and depressionDoubtGod's presenceLoneliness
Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?

2 In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.

3 For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
