Context of Psalms 10:6
4The wicked one, with his nose in the air, never seeks Him. All his thoughts are: “There is no God.” 5His ways are secure at all times. He haughtily disregards Your judgments. He snorts at all his adversaries. He 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. 8He lies in ambush near villages. In hidden places he slays the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for the helpless.
