⁹ For there is ^(A)nothing ^[a]trustworthy in ^[b]their mouth;
Their ^(B)inward part is destruction itself.
Their ^(C)throat is an open grave;
They ^[c]flatter with their tongue.

¹⁰ Make them pay, God;
^(A)Have them fall by their own schemes!
^(B)Scatter them in the multitude of their wrongdoings,
For they are ^(C)rebellious against You.

³ For the wicked ^(C)boasts of his ^(D)soul’s desire,
And ^[b]the greedy person curses and ^(E)shows disrespect to the Lord.
⁴ The wicked, ^[c]in his haughtiness, ^(F)does not seek Him.
^(G)There is no God in all his schemes.

⁵ His ways ^(H)succeed at all times;
Yet Your judgments are on high, ^(I)out of his sight;
As for all his enemies, he snorts at them.
⁶ He says to himself, “^(J)I will not be moved;
^[d]Throughout the generations ^(K)I will not be in adversity.”
⁷ His ^(L)mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and ^(M)oppression;
^(N)Under his tongue is harm and injustice.
⁸ He sits in the ^(O)lurking places of the villages;
He ^(P)kills the innocent in the secret places;
His eyes ^[e]surreptitiously watch for the ^[f](Q)unfortunate.
⁹ He lurks in secret like ^(R)a lion in his ^[g]lair;
He ^(S)lurks to catch ^(T)the needy;
He catches the needy when he pulls him into his ^(U)net.
¹⁰ Then he crushes the needy one, who cowers;
And ^[h]unfortunate people fall by his mighty power.
¹¹ He ^(V)says to himself, “God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”
