Psalms 10:1

Psalm 10

1 Why do you stand so far away, LORD, hiding yourself in troubling times?

Psalms 10:1 In-Context

1 Why do you stand so far away, LORD, hiding yourself in troubling times?
2 Meanwhile, the wicked are proudly in hot pursuit of those who suffer. Let them get caught in the very same schemes they've thought up!
3 The wicked brag about their body's cravings; the greedy reject the LORD, cursing.
4 At the peak of their wrath, the wicked don't seek God: There's no God— that's what they are always thinking.
5 Their ways are always twisted. Your rules are too lofty for them. They snort at all their foes.
