⁸ He waits in ambush near the villages;^(A)
he kills the innocent in secret places.
His eyes are on the lookout for the helpless;^(B)
9 he lurks in secret like a lion in a thicket.
He lurks in order to seize the afflicted;
he seizes the afflicted and drags him in his net.
¹⁰ So he is oppressed and beaten down;
the helpless fall because of his strength.^(C)

³ Lord, look! They set an ambush for me.^(A)
Powerful men attack me,
but not because of any sin or rebellion of mine.^(B)
