Psalm 73:2-12

... in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.  Amen.  Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us.  Amen.  Glory to You, our God, Glory to You.
O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, You are everywhere and fill all things, Treasury of blessings, and Giver of life: come and abide in us, and cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us (three times).
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it is now, was in the beginning, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen.
Psalm 73:2-12[1]
But as for me, my feet were almost gone.  My steps had well near slipped: for I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
There are] no pangs in their death.  Their strength [is] firm.  They [are] not in trouble [as other] men.  Nor are they plagued like [other] men.  Therefore pride circles about them as a chain.  Violence covers them [as] a garment.  Their eyes bulge out with fatness.  They have more than heart could wish.  They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [of] oppression.  They speak loftily.  They set their mouth against the heavens.  Their tongue walks through the earth.  Therefore his people return here.  Waters of a full [cup] are wrung out to them.  They say, “How does God know?  Is there knowledge in the most High?” Behold, these [are] the wicked, who prosper in the world.  They increase [in] riches.[2]


[1] This is, among other things, a political commentary for all time.  It shows quite plainly how the hidden agendas of politics really work.
It explains why our anti-Constitution Supreme Court has decided on its own volition, not by any real law other than its own invention, has unilaterally decided that money is the equivalent to the right to vote.  This is no mere deduction or induction or other contrivance of logic.  Our Supreme Court has made such declarations in the public news.
It explains why our elected and appointed officials are no longer public servants, but our masters, overlords, and tyrants.
Pity the freshman politicians, who take office believing that they are public servants; that they will, with experience, become statesmen and women.  In relatively short periods of time they, for the most part, will be perverted by this system that worships wealth as the supreme god.  The few that do survive will be quickly marginalized, so that they are without real influence.
Pity, the wealthy: for all they really have is their wealth.  Soon they will discover that what they have been hoarding as gold is nothing but worthless sand.  This loss is already evident in 1933, and amplified in 1963, today our fiat wealth is nothing more than worthless paper, electrons, not even sand.  Its only value is the faith we, the people put into it.  Nevertheless, the wealthy have broken faith with the people, they have lost all sense of noblesse oblige, and more and more rule with an iron fist.  They suppose, because God is very patient, that He does not observe their folly, and judge it.
Know this.  God is patient, and God is kind.  He has an intense sense of noblesse oblige.  The poorest of the poor is His treasured child.  So we must concern ourselves with praying through our Bibles, learning to see the world from God's perspective.  It matters not that we live or die, but that we will live again.
Blessed are You, O Lord; teach us Your commandments.
Blessed are You, O Lord; teach us Your statutes.
Blessed are You, O Lord; show us how to love You.
Blessed are You, O Lord; help us love our neighbors.
Blessed are You, O Lord; provide us with Your manna.
Blessed are You, O Lord; crush the deception of the nations.
Blessed are You, O Lord; set your people free.
