Psalm 10:7

A Prayer For God To Throw Down The Wicked

⁶ He says to himself, “I will never be moved—
from generation to generation without calamity.”
⁷ Cursing, deceit, and violence fill his mouth;
trouble and malice are under his tongue.
⁸ He waits in ambush near the villages;
he kills the innocent in secret places.
His eyes are on the lookout for the helpless;
