Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, “You will not call to account”?
When you see fraud and violence running wild, when wicked men prosper and fear nothing, do not think yourself alone in this trial. David faced it; the patriarchs faced it. Look into this mirror and be comforted that the Church has always wrestled with such darkness. But do not merely complain to the air, go to God, for only He can remedy such disorder.

Commenting on Psalm 10:1-18
The wicked man's whole evil springs from one poisonous root: he denies God's government and believes sin will never be punished. When he calls God's justice into question, we must cry out to the Lord to make him feel terrible things in righteousness. There ought to be a hell for those alone who dare question whether hell is just.
AI summary
God must arise and lift up His hand, making His presence known in this lower world, for the wicked boast that He has forgotten the afflicted. Disable the oppressor's strength; let all his hidden wickedness be brought to light and brought to account until nothing of his evil designs remains unreckoned. None of his deeds shall go unpunished.
