Psalms 10:4-11

4In all his scheming, the wicked person arrogantly thinks, “There’s no accountability, since there’s no God.”

5His ways are always secure; your lofty judgments have no effect on him; he scoffs at all his adversaries.

6He says to himself, “I will never be moved — from generation to generation I will be without calamity.”

7Cursing, deceit, and violence fill his mouth; trouble and malice are under his tongue.

8He waits in ambush near settlements; he kills the innocent in secret places. His eyes are on the lookout for the helpless;

9he lurks in secret like a lion in a thicket. He lurks in order to seize a victim; he seizes a victim and drags him in his net.

10So he is oppressed and beaten down; helpless people fall because of the wicked one’s strength.

11He says to himself, “God has forgotten; he hides his face and will never see.”
