5 Yet their affairs always succeed;they ignore your judgment on high;they sneer at all who oppose them.
6 They say in their hearts, “We will never fall;never will we see misfortune.”
7 Their mouths are full of oaths, violence, and lies;discord and evil are under their tongues.
8 They wait in ambush near towns;their eyes watch for the helplessto murder the innocent in secret.
9 They lurk in ambush like lions in a thicket,hide there to trap the poor,snare them and close the net.
10 The helpless are crushed, laid low;they fall into the power of the wicked,
11 Who say in their hearts, “God has forgotten,shows no concern, never bothers to look.”
