Psa 10:2-11 | NASB1995 | STEP | In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted ; Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised .

Psalms 10:2-11

2 In ^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.

3 For the wicked ^eboasts of his ^fheart’s desire,
And ^{▼▼ Or blesses the greedy man}the greedy man curses and ^hspurns the Lord.
4 The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, ⁱdoes not seek Him.
All his ^{▼▼ Or plots}thoughts are, ^k“There is no God.”

5 His 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.
6 He says to himself, ^o“I will not be moved;
^{▼▼ Lit To}Throughout all generations ^qI will not be in adversity.”
7 His ^rmouth is full of curses and deceit and ^soppression;
^tUnder his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
8 He 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.
9 He 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.
10 He ^{▼▼ 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.
11 He ^aisays to himself, “God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”
