3 The wicked are proud of their evil desires;the greedy curse and reject the Lord.
4 The wicked do not care about the Lord;in their pride they think that God doesn't matter.
5 The wicked succeed in everything.They cannot understand God's judgements;they sneer at their enemies.
6 They say to themselves, “I will never fail;I will never be in trouble.”
7 Their speech is filled with curses, lies, and threats;they are quick to speak hateful, evil words.
8 They hide themselves in the villages,waiting to murder innocent people.They spy on their helpless victims;
9 they wait in their hiding places like lions.They lie in wait for the poor;they catch them in their traps and drag them away.
