Psalms 10:1-5

LEB(i) 1 Why, O Yahweh, do you stand far off? Why do you hide* during times of distress? 2 In arrogance the wicked persecutes* the poor. Let them be caught in the schemes that they devised, 3 for the wicked boasts about the desire of his heart,* and the one greedy for gain curses and treats Yahweh with contempt. 4 With bald-faced pride* the wicked will not seek God. There is no God in any of his thoughts. 5 His ways* endure at all times.* Your judgments are aloof from him. As for all his enemies, he scoffs at them.
