New Testament

Psalms 10:7-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.”

14. You have seen it, for You observe trouble and grief,to repay it with Your hand.The unfortunate one entrusts it to You;You are the helper of the orphan.

15. Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;seek out his wickednessuntil You find none.
