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 to himself, “(C)I will not be moved;
[b]Throughout all generations (D)I will not be in adversity.”
His (E)mouth is full of curses and deceit and (F)oppression;
(G)Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
He sits in the (H)lurking places of the villages;
In the hiding places he (I)kills the innocent;
His eyes [c]stealthily watch for the [d](J)unfortunate.
He lurks in a hiding place as (K)a lion in his [e]lair;
He (L)lurks to catch (M)the afflicted;
He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his (N)net.
10 He [f]crouches, he [g]bows down,
And the [h]unfortunate fall [i]by his mighty ones.
11 He (O)says to himself, “God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”
