Context of Psalms 10:4
2In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise. 3For the wicked man boasts in 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 schemes there is no God. 5He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes. 6He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
