2 The wicked person arrogantly pursues oppressed people.He will be caught in the schemes that he planned.
3 The wicked person boasts about his selfish desires.He blesses robbers, but he curses the Lord.
4 He turns up his nose ⌊and says⌋, “God doesn’t care.”His every thought ⌊concludes⌋, “There is no God.”
5 He always seems to succeed.Your judgments are beyond his understanding.He spits at all his opponents.
6 He says to himself, “Nothing can shake me.I’ll never face any trouble.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing, deception, and oppression.Trouble and wrongdoing are on the tip of his tongue.
8 He waits in ambush in the villages.From his hiding places he kills innocent people.His eyes are on the lookout for victims.
