8. He waits in ambush near the villages;in hidden places he kills the innocent.His eyes look for some unfortunate victim.
9. He lies in ambush in a hidden place, like a lion in a thicket;he lies in ambush, waiting to catch the oppressed;he catches the oppressed by pulling in his net.
10. His victims are crushed and beaten down;they are trapped in his sturdy nets.
11. He says to himself,“God overlooks it;he does not pay attention;he never notices.”
12. Rise up, Lord!O God, strike him down!Do not forget the oppressed!
13. Why does the wicked man reject God?He says to himself, “You will not hold me accountable.”
14. You have taken notice,for you always see one who inflicts pain and suffering.The unfortunate victim entrusts his cause to you;you deliver the fatherless.
