Psalms 10:3-11

3 For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the LORD.

3 He boasts about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.

4 In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, "There is no God."

4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.

5 His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them.

5 His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies.

6 He says in his heart, "I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity."

6 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.” He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”

7 His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.

7 His mouth is full of lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.

8 He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;

8 He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims;

9 he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.

9 like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.

10 The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might.

10 His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength.

11 He says in his heart, "God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it."

11 He says to himself, “God will never notice; he covers his face and never sees.”
