The sin in the Bible: The wicked are proud of their evil desires; the greedy curse and reject the LORD. Psalm 10:3

Psalm 10 is a plea for God's mercy (compassion, kindness, gentleness) toward the oppressed and the needy. But to fundament this request to God, the Psalm in the Bible describes first of all the nature of sin in men. And the Psalm in its teaching is clear, the sin is the rejection and denial of God and his eternal wisdom, and this is naturally so because sin is sustained by falsehood. For the sinner and the impious, the wisdom of God is a reason for hidden laughter and madness because he cannot understand with his mind the empathy towards the neighbor and the compassion for the weakest, such as widows, orphans, and the elderly.
This is why the Psalm begins by invoking the closeness of the Lord and his wise providence, for those who fear him with a pure and devoted heart:
"Why are you so far away, O LORD?
Why do you hide yourself when we are in trouble?" Psalm 10:1.
Because the sinner, the one who follows and desires the path of error, explains the Psalm, is an enemy of God; and with these words, the Psalm describes the thoughts of the fools:
"The wicked are proud and persecute the poor;
catch them in the traps they have made.
The wicked are proud of their evil desires;
the greedy curse and reject the LORD.
The wicked do not care about the LORD;
in their pride they think that God doesn't matter" Psalm 10:2-4.
Psalm 10 was probably written during the Babylonian captivity when the Jews who survived the destruction of the city of Jerusalem by the tyrant Nebuchadnezzar had to endure their worst moments. That is why the psalm is also a song dedicated to hope because it is in God's wisdom to help his devotees, and because societies that make sin a way to maintain power do not last forever as the prophets of the Bible constantly taught.
