6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

Psa 10:12-18
David here, upon the foregoing representation of the inhumanity and impiety of the oppressors, grounds an address to God, wherein observe,
In singing these verses we must commit religion's just but injured cause to God, as those that are heartily concerned for its honour and interests, believing that he will, in due time, plead it with jealousy.
