PSALMS 10:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Ps 10:3Ps 10:5
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
The reflection that the wicked does not seek God and has no God in his thoughts establishes fundamental apostasy and rejection of divine awareness. The double negation—not seeking and having no thought—emphasizes total dismissal of God from the wicked's consciousness and values. The phrase no God suggests that the wicked operates as if God does not exist or at least as if God's existence bears no relevance to how the wicked conducts himself. This verse establishes atheistic or functional atheism as the root of wickedness, making the problem fundamentally theological rather than merely ethical.
