Psalms 10:8-11

8 He sits in ambush in the villages;
in ^mhiding places he murders the innocent.
His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
9 he lurks in ambush like ⁿa lion in his ^othicket;
he ^plurks that he may seize the poor;
he seizes the poor when he draws him into his ^qnet.
10 The helpless are crushed, sink down,
and fall by his might.
11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten,
he has ^rhidden his face, he ^swill never see it.”
