Context of Psalms 10:6
4The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith, He will not requireit. All his thoughts are, There is no God. 5His ways are firm at all times; Thy judgments are far above out of his sight: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them. He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; To all generations I shall not be in adversity. 7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression: Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity. 8He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; In the secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are privily set against the helpless.
