Psalm 10:1-6
New International Version
Psalm 10[a]
2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,(C)
who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3 He boasts(D) about the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.(E)
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.(F)
5 His ways are always prosperous;
your laws are rejected by[b] him;
he sneers at all his enemies.
6 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”(G)

Why does he say to himself,
“He won’t call me to account”?(E)

you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;(G)
you are the helper(H) of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked man;(I)
call the evildoer to account for his wickedness
that would not otherwise be found out.
