As for how I feel about the US, the Consumerist society dominated by lust for money rather than a Love for God, here is a Psalm I feel fitys todays times. It is Psalm 42 from the Douay-Rheims bible

1 Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.

2 For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?

3 Sent forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.

4 And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.

5 To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?

6 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

I'm not familiar with this version. ??
Yes,we do live in a "society dominated by lust for money rather than a Love for God". We agree.
