6 He says in his heart: “I’ll never be shaken! From generation to generation nothing bad will happen.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing, lies and oppression. On his tongue are trouble and iniquity.
8 He lies in ambush near villages. In hidden places he slays the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for the helpless.
9 He lurks in a hiding place like a lion in a thicket. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the unfortunate one, dragging him away in his net.
10 The victim is crushed, brought down, and falls into his mighty claws.
11 He says in his heart: “God has forgotten. He hides His face—He will never see it.”
12 Arise, Adonai! O God, lift up Your hand. Do not forget the afflicted.
