Psalms 9:17 - Psalms 10:6

17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

19 Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail; let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

20 Put them in fear, O Lord; that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Psalms 10
Intro: David professeth his faith in God.

1 Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor; let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.

4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God; God is not in all his thoughts.

5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

6 For he hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved; never in adversity.
