⁹ Like lions crouched in hiding,
    they wait to pounce on the helpless.
Like hunters they capture the helpless
    and drag them away in nets.

¹² They are like hungry lions, eager to tear me apart—
    like young lions hiding in ambush.

³ They have set an ambush for me.
    Fierce enemies are out there waiting, Lord,
    though I have not sinned or offended them.

¹⁰ With every bone in my body I will praise him:
    “Lord, who can compare with you?
Who else rescues the helpless from the strong?
    Who else protects the helpless and poor from those who rob them?”
