Psalms 10:4-12
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.
6
He says to himself, “Nothing will shake me;
I’ll always be happy and never have trouble.”
7
His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats;
trouble and evil are under his tongue.
8
He lies in wait near the villages;
from ambush he murders the innocent,
watching in secret for his victims.
9
He lies in wait like a lion in cover;
he lies in wait to catch the helpless;
he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
10
His victims are crushed, they collapse;
they fall under his strength.
11
He says to himself, “God has forgotten;
he covers his face and never sees.”
12
Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God.
Do not forget the helpless.
