A Prayer For God To Throw Down The Wicked

3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings. He blesses the greedy, and condemns Yahweh. 4 The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God. 5 His ways are prosperous at all times. He is haughty, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
