5 His ways1 are always prospering;
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
Your judgments are far above, out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.
7 aHis mouth is full of cursing and bdeceit and oppression;
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
In the secret places he murders the innocent;
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
9 He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.

What Does Psalms 10:6 Mean?
Psalm 10:6
The evil person is so presumptuous. He has become oblivious of God just as Satan did—so oblivious that he thinks that God will not punish or require any payment, that God simply will not care about what he does.
