Psalm 10:1-3
Modern English Version

Psalm 10

1 Why do You stand far off, O Lord?
    Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?

2 In arrogance the wicked persecutes the poor;
    let them be caught in the devices they have planned.
3 For the wicked boasts of his soul’s desire;
    he blesses the greedy and despises the Lord.
