Psalms 10:1-6

NCV

NIV

1 Lord, why are you so far away? Why do you hide when there is trouble?
1 Why, LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 Proudly the wicked chase down those who suffer. Let them be caught in their own traps.
2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3 They brag about the things they want. They bless the greedy but hate the Lord.
3 He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4 The wicked people are too proud. They do not look for God; there is no room for God in their thoughts.
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
5 They always succeed. They are far from keeping your laws; they make fun of their enemies.
5 His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies.
6 They say to themselves, "Nothing bad will ever happen to me; I will never be ruined."
6 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.” He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”
