Psalms 10:8

Read in context

Psalms 10:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”

7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.

8 He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.

9 He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.

10 They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
