Psalm 10:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 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.
9 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.

Psalm 10:8-10
King James Version
8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
