Psalm 10:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ They wait in a place perfect for ambush;^[a]
    from their hiding places
    they kill innocent people;
    their eyes spot those who are helpless.
⁹ They lie in ambush
    in secret places,
    like a lion in its lair.
They lie in ambush
    so they can seize those who suffer!
They seize the poor, all right,
    dragging them off in their nets.
¹⁰ Their helpless victims are crushed;
    they collapse, falling prey to the strength of the wicked.
