Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Psalm 10
⁴ The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him. All his thoughts are, "There is no God."
⁵ His ways prosper at all times; Your judgments are on high, out of his sight; As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.
⁶ He says to himself, "I will not be moved; Throughout all generations I will not be in adversity."
⁷ His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
⁸ He sits in the lurking places of the villages; In the hiding places he kills the innocent; His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate.
⁹ He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his lair; He lurks to catch the afflicted; He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net.
¹⁰ He crouches, he bows down, And the unfortunate fall by his mighty ones.
¹¹ He says to himself, "God has forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never see it."
¹² Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Your hand. Do not forget the afflicted.
¹³ Why has the wicked spurned God? He has said to himself, "You will not require it."
¹⁴ You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand. The unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the helper of the orphan.
