Psalms 10:4

2 In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.

3 For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.

In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.

5 He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.

6 He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
