Context of Psalms 10:5
3For the wicked one boasts about his soul’s desire. The greedy one curses, reviling Adonai. 4The wicked one, with his nose in the air, never seeks Him. All his thoughts are: “There is no God.” His ways are secure at all times. He haughtily disregards Your judgments. He snorts at all his adversaries. 6He says in his heart: “I’ll never be shaken! From generation to generation nothing bad will happen.” 7His mouth is full of cursing, lies and oppression. On his tongue are trouble and iniquity.
