A Portrait of the Wicked

Because of the pride of the wicked, the oppressed burn.[a]
They are caught in the schemes that the wicked plan.
Yes, the wicked man boasts about his heart’s desires.
He blesses the robber. He despises the Lord.[b]
With his nose in the air, the wicked does not seek God.
There is no room at all for God in his thoughts.
