Psalm 10:6-14

English Standard Version

⁶He ^(A)says in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
    throughout all generations I ^(B)shall not meet adversity.”
⁷^(C)His mouth is filled with cursing and ^(D)deceit and ^(E)oppression;
    ^(F)under his tongue are ^(G)mischief and ^(H)iniquity.
⁸He sits in ambush in the villages;
    in ^(I)hiding places he murders the innocent.
His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
⁹    he lurks in ambush like ^(J)a lion in his ^(K)thicket;
he ^(L)lurks that he may seize the poor;
    he seizes the poor when he draws him into his ^(M)net.
¹⁰The helpless are crushed, sink down,
    and fall by his might.
¹¹He says in his heart, “God has forgotten,
    he has ^(N)hidden his face, he ^(O)will never see it.”

¹²^(P)Arise, O Lord; O God, ^(Q)lift up your hand;
    ^(R)forget not the afflicted.
¹³Why does the wicked ^(S)renounce God
    and say in his heart, “You will not ^(T)call to account”?
¹⁴But you do see, for you ^(U)note mischief and vexation,
    that you may take it into your hands;
to you the helpless ^(V)commits himself;
    you have been ^(W)the helper of the fatherless.
