A Cry for God's Presence

Psalms 10:1

Showing verse 1 with surrounding context.

hy, ADONAI, do you stand at a distance? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

The wicked in their arrogance hunt down the poor, who get caught in the schemes they think up.

For the wicked boasts about his lusts; he blesses greed and despises ADONAI.

Every scheme of the wicked in his arrogance [says], "There is no God, [so] it won't be held against me."
