3 For the wicked one boasts about his own desire; he blesses the greedy and despises the LORD. 4 With haughty arrogance, the wicked thinks, "God will not seek justice." He always presumes "There is no God." 5 Their ways always seem prosperous. Your judgments are on high, far away from them. They scoff at all their enemies.
