Psalm 10:2–11

²Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.

³Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.

⁴The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. ‘God is not!’ are all his devices.

⁵Pain do his ways at all times, On high are Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries—he puffeth at them.

⁶He hath said in his heart, ‘I am not moved,’ To generation and generation not in evil.

⁷Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue is perverseness and iniquity,

⁸He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,

⁹He 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.

¹⁰He is bruised—he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.

¹¹He said in his heart, ‘God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.’
