His ways [a](A)prosper at all times;
Your judgments are on high, (B)out of his sight;
As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.
He says in his heart, “(C)I will not be shaken;
[b]From generation to generation (D)I will not be in adversity.”

Pe

His (E)mouth is full of curses and deceit and (F)oppression;
(G)Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.

Ayin

He sits in the [c](H)places of the villages where one lies in wait;
In the hiding places he (I)kills the innocent;
His eyes [d]stealthily watch for the [e](J)unfortunate.
He lies in wait in a hiding place as (K)a lion in his [f]lair;
He (L)lies in wait to catch (M)the afflicted;
He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his (N)net.
10 He [g]crouches, he [h]bows down,
And the [i]unfortunate fall [j]by his mighty ones.
11 He (O)says in his heart, “God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”
