King James Version with Apocrypha
"He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones."
— Psalms 10:10, King James Version with Apocrypha
“He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.”
“He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones. ”
“The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.”
“His victims are crushed and beaten down; they are trapped in his sturdy nets.”
“The upright are crushed and made low, and the feeble are overcome by his strong ones.”
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
