Psalms 10:1-5
1
Psalm 10
Why, O Lord, do you stand far off?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2
In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,
who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3
He boasts of the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
4
In his pride the wicked does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
5
His ways are always prosperous;
he is haughty and your laws are far from him;
he sneers at all his enemies.
