2In his pride, the wicked man hotly pursues the poor; may the wicked be caught in the schemes they have devised.

3For the wicked man boasts about his own desire, and the greedy man curses and rejects Yahweh.

4With his nose held high, the wicked man does not seek God; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.”

5His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.

6He says in his heart, “I will not be shaken; through generation after generation I will not be in trouble.”
