Psalms 10:4

The evil-doer in his pride says, God will not make a search. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

Bible in Basic English

In The King James Version

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

In Context

5His ways are ever fixed; your decisions are higher than he may see: as for his haters, they are as nothing to him.
