Psalm 10:7

A Prayer For God To Throw Down The Wicked

⁶ He says to himself, “I will not be moved;
Throughout all generations I will not be in adversity.”
⁷ His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
⁸ He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the hiding places he kills the innocent;
His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate.
