Psalm 10:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ The wicked brag about
    their deepest desires.
Those greedy people hate
    and curse you, Lord.
⁴ The wicked are too proud
to turn to you
    or even think about you.
⁵ They are always successful,
though they can't understand
    your teachings,
and they keep sneering
    at their enemies.
