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 hapless fall prey to his strength.
— Psalm 10:7-10
