Psalms 10:4-12
The wicked are too proud to seek God. They seem to think that God is dead.Yet they succeed in everything they do. They do not see your punishment awaiting them. They sneer at all their enemies.They think,“ Nothing bad will ever happen to us! We will be free of trouble forever!”Their mouths are full of cursing, lies, and threats. Trouble and evil are on the tips of their tongues.They lurk in ambush in the villages, waiting to murder innocent people. They are always searching for helpless victims.Like lions crouched in hiding, they wait to pounce on the helpless. Like hunters they capture the helpless and drag them away in nets.Their helpless victims are crushed; they fall beneath the strength of the wicked.The wicked think,“ God isn’t watching us! He has closed his eyes and won’t even see what we do!”Arise, O Lord! Punish the wicked, O God! Do not ignore the helpless!
