he lurks in ambush like (A)a lion in his (B)thicket;
he (C)lurks that he may seize the poor;
    he seizes the poor when he draws him into his (D)net.
10 The helpless are crushed, sink down,
    and fall by his might.
11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten,
    he has (E)hidden his face, he (F)will never see it.”

12 (G)Arise, O Lord; O God, (H)lift up your hand;
    (I)forget not the afflicted.
13 Why does the wicked (J)renounce God
    and say in his heart, “You will not (K)call to account”?
14 But you do see, for you (L)note mischief and vexation,
    that you may take it into your hands;
to you the helpless (M)commits himself;
    you have been (N)the helper of the fatherless.
