6 They think to themselves,We’ll never stumble.We’ll never encounter any resistance.
7 Their mouths are filledwith curses, dishonesty, violence.Under their tongues lietroublemaking and wrongdoing.
8 They wait in a place perfect for ambush;from their hiding placesthey kill innocent people;their eyes spot those who are helpless.
9 They lie in ambushin secret places,like a lion in its lair.They lie in ambushso they can seize those who suffer!They seize the poor, all right,dragging them off in their nets.
10 Their helpless victims are crushed;they collapse, falling prey to the strength of the wicked.
11 The wicked think to themselves:God has forgotten.God has hidden his face.God never sees anything!
12 Get up, Lord!Get your fist ready, God!Don’t forget the ones who suffer!
