Psalms 10:2-11

The Wicked Oppressor Described

Psalms 10:2-11
2
The wicked with pride doeth persecute the poore: let them be taken in the craftes that they haue imagined.
3
For the wicked hath made boast of his owne heartes desire, and the couetous blesseth himselfe: he contemneth the Lord.
4
The wicked is so proude that hee seeketh not for God: hee thinketh alwayes, There is no God.
5
His wayes alway prosper: thy iudgements are hie aboue his sight: therefore defieth he all his enemies.
6
He saith in his heart, I shall neuer be moued, nor be in danger.
7
His mouth is full of cursing and deceite and fraude: vnder his tongue is mischiefe and iniquitie.
8
He lieth in waite in the villages: in the secret places doeth hee murder the innocent: his eyes are bent against the poore.
9
He lyeth in waite secretly, euen as a lyon in his denne: he lyeth in waite to spoyle the poore: he doeth spoyle the poore, when he draweth him into his net.
10
He croucheth and boweth: therefore heaps of the poore doe fall by his might.
11
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth away his face, and will neuer see.
