Psalms 10:2-11

The Wicked Oppressor Described

Psalms 10:2-11
2
Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.
3
Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.
4
The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. `God is not!' are all his devices.
5
Pain do his ways at all times, On high are Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries--he puffeth at them.
6
He hath said in his heart, `I am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil.
7
Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue is perverseness and iniquity,
8
He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,
9
He lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
10
He is bruised--he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.
11
He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'
