text: At least KB tackles a substantive subject than many of the fluff pieces in NCR.  
  God doesn't hear the cry of the poor.  We are certain about the existence of the poor but not necessarily of a god, particularly if one imagines an anthropomorphic one. 
  I was hoping KB would single out a psalm that refers to the victims of injustice questioning why which I can't recall unless I read through, line by line, the 150.  
  Psalm 73 questions why the evil prosper and psalm 37 explains that the evil will someday get their comeuppance eventually! Hell? But it doesn't exist except here where we are convulsed daily by universal  suffering and evil.
  Yet the believer is counseled to hang in despite it all. "Because Jesus said so; he'll explain it all later."
  And not all psalms are uplifting. Like Psalm 137:9 "Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks."  Happy? Of course, one won't be disturbed if listening to it sung in Gregorian Chant, unless one knows Latin.
