verse 4 The wicked one according to his countenances pride Will not inquire: that there's no God so all his thoughts abide. verse 5 His ways do always bring forth grief, on high thy judgments be Above his sight: his pressing foe• puff at them all will he.
verse 6 Within his heart he thus hath said, I shall not moved be, From age to age that am not yet in ill adversity. verse 7 His mouth with cursing filled is, deceits and fallacy, Under his tongue perverseness is, also iniquity.
verse 8 In lurking places of the towns he sits; in secret dens He slays the harmless, 'gainst the poor his eyes down slyly bends verse 9 He closely lurks as Lion lurks in den the poor to catch: He lurks and trapping them in's net th' afflicted poor doth snatch.
