⁹ There is ^(A)nothing ^[a]reliable in ^[b]what they say;
Their ^(B)inward part is destruction itself.
Their ^(C)throat is an open grave;
They ^[c]flatter with their tongue.
¹⁰ Hold them guilty, O God;
^(D)By their own devices let them fall!
In the multitude of their transgressions ^(E)thrust them out,
For they are ^(F)rebellious against You.

³ For the wicked ^(C)boasts of his ^(D)heart’s desire,
And ^[c]the greedy man curses and ^(E)spurns the Lord.
⁴ The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, ^(F)does not seek Him.
All his ^[d]thoughts are, “^(G)There is no God.”

⁵ His ways ^[e](H)prosper at all times;
Your judgments are on high, ^(I)out of his sight;
As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.
⁶ He says to himself, “^(J)I will not be moved;
^[f]Throughout all generations ^(K)I will not be in adversity.”
⁷ His ^(L)mouth is full of curses and deceit and ^(M)oppression;
^(N)Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
⁸ He sits in the ^(O)lurking places of the villages;
In the hiding places he ^(P)kills the innocent;
His eyes ^[g]stealthily watch for the ^[h](Q)unfortunate.
⁹ He lurks in a hiding place as ^(R)a lion in his ^[i]lair;
He ^(S)lurks to catch ^(T)the afflicted;
He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his ^(U)net.
¹⁰ He ^[j]crouches, he ^[k]bows down,
And the ^[l]unfortunate fall ^[m]by his mighty ones.
¹¹ He ^(V)says to himself, “God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”
