Psalms 10:4-12 With haughty arrogance, the wicked thinks, “God will not seek justice.” He always presumes “There is no God.”

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ With haughty arrogance, the wicked thinks, “God will not seek justice.” He always presumes “There is no God.” ⁵ Their ways always seem prosperous. Your judgments are on high, far away from them. They scoff at all their enemies. ⁶ They say to themselves, “We will not be moved throughout all time, and we will not experience adversity.” ⁷ Their mouth is full of curses, lies, and oppression, their tongues spread trouble and iniquity. ⁸ They wait in ambush in the villages, they kill the innocent in secret. ⁹ Their eyes secretly watch the helpless, lying in wait like a lion in his den. They lie in wait to catch the afflicted. They catch the afflicted when they pull him into their net. ¹⁰ The victim is crushed, and he sinks down; the helpless fall by their might. ¹¹ The wicked say to themselves, “God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.” ¹² Rise up, LORD! Raise your hand, God. Don’t forget the afflicted!
