That was more of a loud sigh than anything anon. Though I no longer belong to any church, and I know the Bible has been tampered, I have felt a little like Asaph and Habbakuk lately.

 

Psalm 73

 

2But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;

 

I had nearly lost my foothold.

 

3For I envied the arrogant

 

when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

 

4They have no struggles;

 

their bodies are healthy and strong. a

 

5They are free from common human burdens;

 

they are not plagued by human ills.

 

6Therefore pride is their necklace;

 

they clothe themselves with violence.

 

7From their callous hearts comes iniquity b ;

 

their evil imaginations have no limits.

 

8They scoff, and speak with malice;

 

with arrogance they threaten oppression.

 

9Their mouths lay claim to heaven,

 

and their tongues take possession of the earth.

 

10Therefore their people turn to them

 

and drink up waters in abundance. c

 

11They say, “How would God know?

 

Does the Most High know anything?”

 

12This is what the wicked are like—

 

always free of care, they go on amassing wealth.

 

13Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure

 

and have washed my hands in innocence.

 

14All day long I have been afflicted,

 

and every morning brings new punishments.

 

15If I had spoken out like that,

 

I would have betrayed your children.

 

16When I tried to understand all this,

 

it troubled me deeply

 

17till I entered the sanctuary of God;

 

then I understood their final destiny.

 

18Surely you place them on slippery ground;

 

you cast them down to ruin.

 

19How suddenly are they destroyed,

 

completely swept away by terrors!

 

20They are like a dream when one awakes;

 

when you arise, Lord,

 

you will despise them as fantasies.

 

21When my heart was grieved

 

and my spirit embittered,

 

22I was senseless and ignorant;

 

I was a brute beast before you.

 

23Yet I am always with you;

 

you hold me by my right hand.

 

24You guide me with your counsel,

 

and afterward you will take me into glory.

 

25Whom have I in heaven but you?

 

And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

 

26My flesh and my heart may fail,

 

but God is the strength of my heart

 

and my portion forever.

 

27Those who are far from you will perish;

 

you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.

 

28But as for me, it is good to be near God.

 

I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge;

 

I will tell of all your deeds.

 

Habakkuk’s Complaint

Habbakkuk Chapter 1

 

2How long, Lord, must I call for help,

 

but you do not listen?

 

Or cry out to you, “Violence!”

 

but you do not save?

 

3Why do you make me look at injustice?

 

Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?

 

Destruction and violence are before me;

 

there is strife, and conflict abounds.

 

4Therefore the law is paralyzed,

 

and justice never prevails.

 

The wicked hem in the righteous,

 

so that justice is perverted.

I do pay heed to it, anon. I have faith in God, only he can save us now. I have faith that the righteous ones will be saved. I have doubts about my own ability to endure to the end, seeing how tired I have become.
