Psalm 10:2-11 — Legacy Standard Bible

²In his ^alofty pride the wicked ¹hotly pursues the afflicted;²Let them be ^bcaught in the thoughts which they have devised.³For the wicked ^aboasts of his ^bsoul’s desire,And ¹the greedy man curses and ^cspurns Yahweh.⁴The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, ^adoes not seek Him.All his ¹thoughts are, “^bThere is no God.”⁵His ways ¹^,^aprosper at all times;Your judgments are on high, ^bout of his sight;As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.⁶He says in his heart, “^aI will not be shaken;¹From generation to generation ^bI will not be in adversity.”

פ Pe

⁷His ^amouth is full of curses and deceit and ^boppression;^cUnder his tongue is mischief and wickedness.

ע Ayin

⁸He sits in the ¹^,^aplaces of the villages where one lies in wait;In the hiding places he ^bkills the innocent;His eyes ²stealthily watch for the ³^,^cunfortunate.⁹He lies in wait in a hiding place as ^aa lion in his ¹lair;He ^blies in wait to catch ^cthe afflicted;He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his ^dnet.¹⁰He ¹crouches, he ²bows down,And the ³unfortunate fall ⁴by his mighty ones.¹¹He ^asays in his heart, “God has forgotten;He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”
