Psalms 10:2-11
2In apride the wicked ▼▼ Lit burn
hotly pursue the afflicted;▼
▼ Or They will be caught
Let them be dcaught in the plots which they have devised.3For the wicked eboasts of his fheart’s desire,
And ▼
▼ Or blesses the greedy man
the greedy man curses and hspurns the Lord.4The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, idoes not seek Him.
All his ▼
▼ Or plots
thoughts are, k“There is no God.”5His ways ▼
▼ Lit are strong
,
mprosper at all times;Your judgments are on high, nout of his sight;
As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.
6He says to himself, o“I will not be moved;
▼
▼ Lit To
Throughout all generations qI will not be in adversity.”7His rmouth is full of curses and deceit and soppression;
tUnder his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
8He sits in the ulurking places of the villages;
In the hiding places he vkills the innocent;
His eyes ▼
▼ Lit lie in wait
stealthily watch for the ▼▼ Or poor
,
yunfortunate.9He lurks in a hiding place as za lion in his ▼
▼ Or thicket
lair;He ablurks to catch acthe afflicted;
He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his adnet.
10He ▼
▼ Or is crushed
crouches, he ▼▼ Or is bowed down
bows down,And the ▼
▼ Or poor
unfortunate fall ▼▼ Or into his claws
by his mighty ones.11He aisays to himself, “God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”
