Context of Psalms 10:11
9Quietly, he hides like a lion among some bushes. He waits there to catch a poor, weak person. Like a hunter, he catches poor people in his net. 10He stamps on the people that he catches, and he knocks them down to the ground. The weak person falls down, because the wicked person is too strong. The wicked person says to himself, ‘God will give me no trouble! He does not even see what I do.’ 12Rise up, Lord! Do something, God, and knock down the wicked person! Do not forget to help weak people. 13Why do wicked people insult God? They say to themselves, ‘God will not give me any trouble.’
