Psa 10:1-11 | ESV | STEP | Why, O Lord , do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble ?

1 Why, O Lord, do you stand ^afar away?
Why ^bdo you hide yourself in ^ctimes of trouble?
2 In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor;
let them ^dbe caught in the schemes that they have devised.
3 For the wicked ^eboasts of the desires of his soul,
and the one greedy for gain ^fcurses ^{▼▼Or and he blesses the one greedy for gain} and ^hrenounces the Lord.
4 In the pride of his face ^{▼▼Or of his anger} the wicked does not ^jseek him; ^{▼▼Or the wicked says, “He will not call to account”}
all his thoughts are, ^l“There is no God.”
5 His ways prosper at all times;
your judgments are on high, ^mout of his sight;
as for all his foes, he ⁿpuffs at them.
6 He ^osays in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
throughout all generations I ^pshall not meet adversity.”
7 ^qHis mouth is filled with cursing and ^rdeceit and ^soppression;
^tunder his tongue are ^umischief and ^viniquity.
8 He sits in ambush in the villages;
in ^whiding places he murders the innocent.
His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
9 he lurks in ambush like ^xa lion in his ^ythicket;
he ^zlurks that he may seize the poor;
he seizes the poor when he draws him into his ^aanet.
10 The helpless are crushed, sink down,
and fall by his might.
11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten,
he has ^abhidden his face, he ^acwill never see it.”
