Psalms:10:1-12
rsv@Psalms:10:1 @ Why dost thou stand afar off, O LORD? Why dost thou hide thyself in times of trouble?
rsv@Psalms:10:2 @ In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes which they have devised.
rsv@Psalms:10:3 @ For the wicked boasts of the desires of his heart, and the man greedy for gain curses and renounces the LORD.
rsv@Psalms:10:4 @ In the pride of his countenance the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, "There is no God."
rsv@Psalms:10:5 @ His ways prosper at all times; thy judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them.
rsv@Psalms:10:6 @ He thinks in his heart, "I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity."
rsv@Psalms:10:7 @ His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.
rsv@Psalms:10:8 @ He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the hapless,
rsv@Psalms:10:9 @ he lurks in secret like a lion in his covert; he lurks that he may seize the poor, he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.
rsv@Psalms:10:10 @ The hapless is crushed, sinks down, and falls by his might.
rsv@Psalms:10:11 @ He thinks in his heart, "God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it."
rsv@Psalms:10:12 @ Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thy hand; forget not the afflicted.
