Psalm 10:7-9
The Message
7-8 They carry a mouthful of spells,
their tongues spit venom like adders.
They hide behind ordinary people,
then pounce on their victims.
9 They mark the luckless,
then wait like a hunter in a blind;
When the poor wretch wanders too close,
they stab him in the back.
Psalm 10:7-9
New International Version
7 His mouth is full(A) of lies and threats;(B)
trouble and evil are under his tongue.(C)
8 He lies in wait(D) near the villages;
from ambush he murders the innocent.(E)
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
9 like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;(F)
he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.(G)
