Psalms 10:9

Context

10:9 He lies in ambush in a hidden place, like a lion in a thicket; 1 

he lies in ambush, waiting to catch 2  the oppressed;

he catches the oppressed 3  by pulling in his net. 4 

1 tn Or “in its den.”

2 tn The verb, which also appears in the next line, occurs only here and in Judg 21:21.

3 tn The singular form is collective (see v. 10) or refers to the typical or representative oppressed individual.

4 tn Or “when he [i.e., the wicked man] pulls in his net.”

sn The background of the imagery is hunting, where the hunter uses a net to entrap an unsuspecting bird or wild animal.
