Psalms 10:9 in Context — Psalms 10

7 Sa bouche est pleine de malédictions, de tromperies et de fraudes; Il y a sous sa langue de la malice et de l’iniquité.

8 Il se tient en embuscade près des villages, Il assassine l’innocent dans des lieux écartés; Ses yeux épient le malheureux.

9 Il est aux aguets dans sa retraite, comme le lion dans sa tanière, Il est aux aguets pour surprendre le malheureux; Il le surprend et l’attire dans son filet.

10 Il se courbe, il se baisse, Et les misérables tombent dans ses griffes.

11 Il dit en son cœur: Dieu oublie! Il cache sa face, il ne regarde jamais!
