Context of Psalms 10:6
4Wicked people are too proud to worry about God. They think, ‘God will not give me any trouble.’ 5Often the wicked person seems to have success. He does not respect your commands, God. He laughs at all his enemies. He says to himself, ‘There will be no trouble for me. Nothing bad will ever happen to me or to my children.’ 7Plenty of lies come from his mouth, and he curses people. The bad words that he speaks are very cruel, and they hurt people. 8He hides near the villages, so that he can jump out and catch people. He watches in secret to find a weak person that he can kill. He murders people who have done nothing wrong.
