Psalm 10:4-12
New King James Version
5 His ways [b]are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
6 (B)He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
(C)I shall never be in adversity.”
7 (D)His mouth is full of cursing and (E)deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
9 He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
10 So [c]he crouches, he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by his [d]strength.
11 He has said in his heart,
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”
