Revised Literal Translation

Psalms 10:2-6

2The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.1

3For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom Yhwh abhorreth.2 3

4The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.4

5His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

6He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.5
