Faces twisted, painted in pride
their own created humanity denied
they do not seek You
they deny You
(Psalm 10:4)
Thinking of only personal pleasure
sinful displays beyond immoral measure
pour out from hearts steeped in sin
Your voice unheeded amidst evil din
(Psalm 10:7)
Human pride wrapped in degradation
mocking Your holy salvation
thoughts of selfish rule on display
the righteous hurting in dismay
(Psalm 10:3)
Outwardly it is very clear
that although You, O Lord, draw near
the wicked continually push away
mocking, deriding Your future judgment Day
(Psalm 10:11)
The righteous with a question mark
look at You, Lord, in days this dark
“Do You stand far away?”
“Are You hiding while we stay?”
(Psalm 10:1)
You do see their mischief and vexation
You take it all in Your hands and shake the nations
to You the humble helpless commits himself
as You shelter the oppressed and fatherless
(Psalm 10:14)
You, O Lord, King forever more
will shut the wicked outside Your door
justice to the oppressed, truth for error
so that man, who is of earth, strikes no more terror
(Psalm 10:17)
