He sits in the (A)lurking places of the villages;
He (B)kills the innocent in the secret places;
His eyes [a]surreptitiously watch for the [b](C)unfortunate.
He lurks in secret like (D)a lion in his [c]lair;
He (E)lurks to catch (F)the needy;
He catches the needy when he pulls him into his (G)net.
10 Then he crushes the needy one, who cowers;
And [d]unfortunate people fall by his mighty power.
