Psalm 10:2-11
New International Version
2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,(A)
who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3 He boasts(B) about the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.(C)
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.(D)
5 His ways are always prosperous;
your laws are rejected by[a] him;
he sneers at all his enemies.
6 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”(E)
7 His mouth is full(F) of lies and threats;(G)
trouble and evil are under his tongue.(H)
8 He lies in wait(I) near the villages;
from ambush he murders the innocent.(J)
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
9 like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;(K)
he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.(L)
10 His victims are crushed,(M) they collapse;
they fall under his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God will never notice;(N)
he covers his face and never sees.”(O)

Psalm 10:2-11
New King James Version
2 The wicked in his pride [a]persecutes the poor;
(A)Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
3 For the wicked (B)boasts of his heart’s desire;
[b]He (C)blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.
4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God;
[c]God is in none of his (D)thoughts.
5 His ways [d]are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
6 (E)He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved;
(F)I shall never be in adversity.”
7 (G)His mouth is full of cursing and (H)deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
9 He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
10 So [e]he crouches, he lies low,
That the helpless may fall by his [f]strength.
11 He has said in his heart,
“God has forgotten;
He hides His face;
He will never see.”
