Psalm 5:10
New American Standard Bible
10 Make them pay, God;
(A)Have them fall by their own schemes!
(B)Scatter them in the multitude of their wrongdoings,
For they are (C)rebellious against You.
Psalm 10:2-11
New American Standard Bible
2 In (A)arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the needy;
[a]Let them be (B)caught in the plots which they have devised.
3 For the wicked (C)boasts of his (D)soul’s desire,
And [b]the greedy person curses and (E)shows disrespect to the Lord.
4 The wicked, [c]in his haughtiness, (F)does not seek Him.
(G)There is no God in all his schemes.
5 His ways (H)succeed at all times;
Yet Your judgments are on high, (I)out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he snorts at them.
6 He says to himself, “(J)I will not be moved;
[d]Throughout the generations (K)I will not be in adversity.”
7 His (L)mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and (M)oppression;
(N)Under his tongue is harm and injustice.
8 He sits in the (O)lurking places of the villages;
He (P)kills the innocent in the secret places;
His eyes [e]surreptitiously watch for the [f](Q)unfortunate.
9 He lurks in secret like (R)a lion in his [g]lair;
He (S)lurks to catch (T)the needy;
He catches the needy when he pulls him into his (U)net.
10 Then he crushes the needy one, who cowers;
And [h]unfortunate people fall by his mighty power.
11 He (V)says to himself, “God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”

Psalm 36:1-4
New American Standard Bible
Wickedness of Humanity and Goodness of God.
For the music director. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.
36 [a]Wrongdoing speaks to the ungodly within [b]his heart;
There is (A)no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For it (B)flatters him in his own eyes
Concerning the discovery of his wrongful deed and the hatred of it.
3 The (C)words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
He has (D)ceased to [c]be wise and to do good.
4 He (E)plans wickedness on his bed;
He sets himself on a (F)path that is not good;
He (G)does not reject evil.
