Psalm
10: The Wicked Man
Amos Wilson (June 22,
2014)
Am I
this evil man?
Lord,
show me if I am!
He
persecutes the poor in pride,
He
boasts, hes weakness tries to hide,
He
gives the greedy benediction,
And of
the Lord a recantation.
He
will not seek the Lord most kind,
He
bars him out from his hard mind.
His
way tortuous goes,
He
sneers at all his foes.
God's
judgments he can't comprehend,
They
stand passed where his vision ends.
“I
won't be moved or evil see,
I will
not see adversity.
Forever
I will prosper well,
And my
posterity will swell.”
His
mouth oppresses, curses, cheats,
His
troubled tongue with sin complete.
He
sits in ambush where he will,
He
springs, the innocent to kill.
His
eyes are fixed on weaker men,
He
waits like lions in their den.
He
lies in wait to catch the poor.
He
spreads a net across the floor.
His
victim crumbles, sinks, and falls.
In his
heart this villain calls:
“God
has forgotten, and wont see,
He
surely hides his face from me.”
Arise
O Lord, and break his arm!
Seek
out the wicked, stop his harm!
If he
resides in me,
Then
give me grace to see.
