Psalm 12

Since Abel fell at the hands of his brother there have been oppressors. Those who use whatever means possible to use others to their own advantage. We all are guilty of such manipulations. But there are some who extend their influence to the level of violence. Psalm 12:5 let's us know that God is not blind or indifferent to violent oppression. The rest of the psalm lays out a pattern for God's response on behalf of the oppressed. There will be a provision of safety and a shelter against the wicked. But I will confess that as read of believers who are imperiled everyday I wonder how (not IF, because I believe God is following this pattern) he delivers these promises. God's unchanging nature dictates that he offers the oppressed safety and shelter. But why don't I see it? Is the evidence of his safety and shelter only for those who receive it and those nearby? I wonder.
