Contemporary English Version
Psalm 10:7-9
Contemporary English Version
7 (A) They curse and tell lies,
and all they talk about
is how to be cruel
or how to do wrong.
8 They hide outside villages,
waiting to strike and murder
some innocent victim.
9 They are hungry lions
hiding in the bushes,
hoping to catch
some helpless passerby.
They trap the poor in nets
and drag them away.

he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.(G)

7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
