Psalms 10:4

A church father on this verse
“In his wish to give vent to his anger and desires, [a wicked person] becomes so caught up in his passion as to be unaware that there is someone who has an eye to human affairs.… He acts as if God were not surveying what happens.”
Diodorus of Tarsus, 4th c. — COMMENTARY ON PSALM 10

In context

2For behold the sinners have bent their bow, They have prepared their arrows for the quiver, To shoot privily at the upright in heart.

3For they have pulled down what thou didst frame, But what has the righteous done?

— Psalms 10:4 —

5The Lord tries the righteous and the ungodly: And he that loves unrighteousness hates his own soul.

6He shall rain upon sinners snares, Fire, and brimstone, and a stormy blast shall be the portion of their cup.
