Psalms 10:9 Context
7His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and fraud: vnder his tongue is mischiefe and vanitie. 8He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doeth he murder the innocent: his eyes are priuily set against the poore. 9He lieth in waite secretly as a lyon in his denne, he lieth in wait to catch the poore: he doth catch the poore when he draweth him into his net. 10He croucheth, and humbleth himselfe, that the poore may fall by his strong ones. 11Hee hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face, hee will neuer see it.
