Psalms 10:5 Context
3For the wicked boasteth of his hearts desire, and blesseth the couetous, whom the Lord abhorreth. 4The wicked through the pride of his countenance will not seeke after God: God is not in all his thoughts. 5His wayes are alwayes grieuous, thy iudgements are farre aboue out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 6He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moued: for I shall neuer be in aduersitie. 7His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and fraud: vnder his tongue is mischiefe and vanitie.

Wesley's Notes for Psalms 10:5
10:5 Judgments - Thy threatenings denounced against, and punishments inflicted upon sinners. Are far - He doth not regard or fear them: yea he despises them, being confident that he can blow them away with a breath. This is a gesture of contempt or disdain, both in scripture, and other authors.
