Psalms 10:5

3 For the wicked man boasts in 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 schemes there is no God.

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.”

7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
