Psalm 10:9

Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.

He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.

Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.

Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?

There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.

But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: an...

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
