Psalms 10:3

Read in context

Psalms 10:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?

2 In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.

3 For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.

4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.

5 He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
