Old Testament

Psalms 10:7-11 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

7. His mouth with cursing, fraud, deceit,is fill'd abundantly;And underneath his tongue there ismischief and vanity.

8. He closely sits in villages;he slays the innocent:Against the poor that pass him byhis cruel eyes are bent.

9. He, lion-like, lurks in his den;he waits the poor to take;And when he draws him in his net,his prey he doth him make.

10. Himself he humbleth very low,he croucheth down withal,That so a multitude of poormay by his strong ones fall.

11. He thus hath said within his heart,The Lord hath quite forgot;He hides his countenance, and hefor ever sees it not.
