Psalm 10:1-8 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
1
Why, O LORD, do you stand far off ?1 Why do you hide yourself2 in times of trouble?
2
In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,3 who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3
He boasts4 of the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.5
4
In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.6
5
His ways are always prosperous; he is haughty7 and your laws are far from him; he sneers at all his enemies.
6
He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me; I'll always be happy8 and never have trouble."
7
His mouth is full of curses9 and lies and threats;10 trouble and evil are under his tongue.11
8
He lies in wait12 near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent,13 watching in secret for his victims.
