The speaker questions why God seems distant while the arrogant and greedy thrive, believing they are not being watched or will escape judgment. The passage highlights the wicked's deceitful and violent actions and their disregard for God, while affirming that God does see and will ultimately bring justice to the oppressedand punish the evil. The psalm concludes with the declaration of the Lord's eternal kingship and his attentive ear to the cries of the vulnerable.
