Context of Psalms 10:6
4The wicked [saith], in the haughtiness of his countenance, He doth not search out: all his thoughts are, There is no God! 5His ways always succeed; 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; from generation to generation I shall be in no 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 slay the innocent: his eyes watch for the wretched.
