Psalm 10:2

A Prayer For God To Throw Down The Wicked

¹ Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?
² In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
³ For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire,
And the greedy man curses and spurns the Lord.
