What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Even when thou shall say, He doth not consider, judge thyself before Him, and wait for Him. For perhaps when our cry seems to be disregarded, the hope, which was in our heart, is weakened, and we believe that assistance from above will fail us, because we are too slow in asking: and we lament that the unavenged wrongs we are enduring are almost disregarded by God. …
Thomas Aquinas
God especially does not seem to see the causes of individuals because the wicked sometimes prosper, but to disprove this he says, "Even though you have said," i.e. when you reflected in your heart, "He does not consider," the deeds of men, "be judged in his presence," prepare yourself to submit to his judgment, "and await him," the future judgment, even if he does not punish you here. For he delays that he might punish more harshly later.
