"Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not requireit? "
— Psalms 10:13, American Standard Version
“Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.”
“Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "God won't call me into account?"”
“Why does the wicked man reject God? He says to himself,“You will not hold me accountable.””
“Why has the evil-doer a low opinion of God, saying in his heart, You will not make search for it?”
“Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.”
He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones.
He saith in his heart: God hath forgotten; He hideth his face, he will never see it.
Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget not the poor.
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not requireit?
Thou hast seenit; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: The helpless committeth himself unto thee; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
Break thou the arm of the wicked; And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
Jehovah is King for ever and ever: The nations are perished out of his land.
