Psalms 10:2-11

The Wicked Oppressor Described

Psalms 10:2-11
2
In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
3
For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4
In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
5
He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
6
He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
7
His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
8
He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
9
He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
10
They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
11
He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
