A Song of Confidence in God’s Triumph over Evil
aLet them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
| << Psalms 10:1 | Psalms 10:3 >> |
