Psalm 10:7-12

Good News Translation

⁸ They hide themselves in the villages,
    waiting to murder innocent people.
They spy on their helpless victims;
⁹     they wait in their hiding place like lions.
They lie in wait for the poor;
    they catch them in their traps and drag them away.

¹⁰ The helpless victims lie crushed;
    brute strength has defeated them.
¹¹ The wicked say to themselves, “God doesn't care!
    He has closed his eyes and will never see me!”

¹² O Lord, punish those wicked people!
    Remember those who are suffering!
