Psalms 10: Where is the Hope?

In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,
    who are caught in the schemes he devises.
He boasts about the cravings of his heart;
    he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
    in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
His ways are always prosperous;
    your laws are rejected by him;
    he sneers at all his enemies.
He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”    He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.” - Psalms 10: 2-6 NIV

As Solomon said, "There is nothing new under the sun."  Politics have not changed since there was first a gathering of people that in someone's mind needed governing.  Politics has always attracted those who are more concerned about their own well-being, their own reputation, than what happens to those who are less so well endowed or funded.  Politics attracts a bunch of idiots as well, who think they know everything when in truth they know nothing.  Even those who enter the political realm hoping to help their fellow man become stuck in the morass of the political system and end up being deceived themselves.  Where is the hope?

The only hope comes from on high.
 

The Lord is King for ever and ever
   the nations will perish from his land
You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted
   you encourage them, and you listen to their cry
 defending the fatherless and the oppressed
   so that mere earthly mortals
will never again strike terror. - Psalms 10:  16-18 NIV
