Psalm 10:2-11

NASB

Psalm 10:2-11

^{Tools
2}

In ^(A)pride the wicked ^(a)hotly pursue the afflicted;
^(b)Let them be ^(B)caught in the plots which they have devised.

^{Tools
3}

For the wicked ^(C)boasts of his ^(D)heart’s desire,
And ^(c)the greedy man curses and ^(E)spurns the Lord.

^{Tools
4}

The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, ^(F)does not seek Him.
All his ^(d)thoughts are, “^(G)There is no God.”

^{Tools
5}

His ways ^(e)^(H)prosper at all times;
Your judgments are on high, ^(I)out of his sight;
As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.

^{Tools
6}

He says to himself, “^(J)I will not be moved;
^(f)Throughout all generations ^(K)I will not be in adversity.”

^{Tools
7}

His ^(L)mouth is full of curses and deceit and ^(M)oppression;
^(N)Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.

^{Tools
8}

He sits in the ^(O)lurking places of the villages;
In the hiding places he ^(P)kills the innocent;
His eyes ^(g)stealthily watch for the ^(h)^(Q)unfortunate.

^{Tools
9}

He lurks in a hiding place as ^(R)a lion in his ⁽ⁱ⁾lair;
He ^(S)lurks to catch ^(T)the afflicted;
He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his ^(U)net.

^{Tools
10}

He ^(j)crouches, he ^(k)bows down,
And the ^(l)unfortunate fall ^(m)by his mighty ones.

^{Tools
11}

He ^(V)says to himself, “God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”
