Psalms 10:5

"His ways are firm at all times;

Thy judgments are far above out of his sight:

As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them.

He says in his heart, I shall not be moved;

To all generations I shall not be in adversity."

These verses are still describing the character, attitude, and thought-patterns of wicked men. The knowledge of God's judgments is not in them. They live on an utterly different plateau from that of godly and righteous people.

The wicked man does not change his plans but with relentless determination moves toward his carnal goals in which, "He seems to prosper in all of them."[9]

"He puffeth at them." This conveys the thought of scorn and contempt. "Nothing more clearly shows the pride and atheism of the human heart,"[10] than does the attitude described in Psalms 10:6. Such conceited sons of the devil are convinced that they themselves are in charge of everything: no illness shall overtake them, no war, no pestilence, no revolution, no earthquake, no flood, no volcano, no stroke of lightning, no depression, no drought, no failure or betrayal by one whom they have trusted, nothing, absolutely nothing shall stand in their way for generations and generations to come. Even a fool should have more judgment than to indulge such a conceited opinion.
