“He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.”
Psalm 10:9 (BSB)
Context Reading
7His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue. 8He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless. 9He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net. 10They are crushed and beaten down; the helpless fall prey to his strength. 11He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
