NET Bible
"His victims are crushed and beaten down; they are trapped in his sturdy nets."
— Psalms 10:10, NET Bible
“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.”
“The upright are crushed and made low, and the feeble are overcome by his strong ones.”
“He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.”
His mouth is full of curses and deceptive, harmful words; his tongue injures and destroys.
He waits in ambush near the villages; in hidden places he kills the innocent. His eyes look for some unfortunate victim.
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.
His victims are crushed and beaten down; they are trapped in his sturdy nets.
He says to himself,“God overlooks it; he does not pay attention; he never notices.”
Rise up, LORD! O God, strike him down! Do not forget the oppressed!
Why does the wicked man reject God? He says to himself,“You will not hold me accountable.”
