Psalm 10:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ They are always cursing, lying,
    and planning evil things to do.
⁸ They hide just outside the villages,
    waiting to kill innocent people,
    always looking for any helpless person they can hurt.
⁹ They are like lions hiding in the bushes
    to catch weak and helpless animals.
They lay their traps for the poor,
    who are caught in their nets.
