3 He boasts about the cravings of his heart;he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
5 His ways are always prosperous;your laws are rejected by him;he sneers at all his enemies.
6 He says to himself, ‘Nothing will ever shake me.’He swears, ‘No one will ever do me harm.’
7 His mouth is full of lies and threats;trouble and evil are under his tongue.
8 He lies in wait near the villages;from ambush he murders the innocent.His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
9 like a lion in cover he lies in wait.He lies in wait to catch the helpless;he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
