Psa 10:5

Psa 10:5(LXX 9:26) His ways are [fn]profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.

Psa 10:6(LXX 9:27) For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, continuing without evil from generation to generation. [fn]

Psa 10:7

Psa 10:7(LXX 9:28) Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.

Psa 10:9

Psa 10:9(LXX 9:30) He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him after him: he will bring him down in his snare.

Psa 10:10

Psa 10:10(LXX 9:31) He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.

Psa 10:11

Psa 10:12(LXX 9:33) Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.

Psa 10:13

Psa 10:14

Psa 10:14(LXX 9:35) Thou seest it; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan.

Psa 10:15

Psa 10:15(LXX 9:36) Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
