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

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.
