Psalms 10:4-11 New Century Version (NCV)

4. The wicked people are too proud.They do not look for God;there is no room for God in their thoughts.

5. They always succeed.They are far from keeping your laws;they make fun of their enemies.

6. They say to themselves, “Nothing bad will ever happen to me;I will never be ruined.”

7. Their mouths are full of curses, lies, and threats;they use their tongues for sin and evil.

8. They hide near the villages.They look for innocent people to kill;they watch in secret for the helpless.

9. They wait in hiding like a lion.They wait to catch poor people;they catch the poor in nets.

10. The poor are thrown down and crushed;they are defeated because the others are stronger.

11. The wicked think, “God has forgotten us.He doesn’t see what is happening.”
