Psalms 10:8-10
Sinful people hide and wait near the villages. From their hiding places they murder people who aren’t guilty. They watch in secret for those they want to attack.They hide and wait like a lion in the bushes. From their hiding places they wait to catch those who are helpless. They catch them and drag them off in their nets.Those they have attacked are beaten up. They fall to the ground. They fall because their attackers are too strong for them.
