New Testament

Psalms 10:5-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

5. His ways are always prosperous;Your judgments are high and distant from him;as for all his enemies, they scoff at him.

6. He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved;for generations I shall not meet adversity.”

7. His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression;under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

8. He sits in the lurking places of the villages;in the secret places he murders the innocent;his eyes lurk against the unfortunate.

9. He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den;he lies in wait to catch the poor;he catches the poor, drawing them into his net.

10. He crouches; he lies low,so that the unfortunate fall by his strength.

11. He says in his heart, “God has forgotten;He hides His face; He will never see it.”

12. Arise, O Lord! O God, lift up Your hand!Do not forget the humble.

13. Why do the wicked despise God?He says in his heart,“You will require an account.”
