Verse of the Day: 'They lurk that they may seize the poor'

[The wicked] think in their heart, "We shall not be moved;
throughout all generations we shall not meet adversity."
Their mouths are filled with cursing and deceit and oppression;
under their tongues are mischief and iniquity.
They sit in ambush in the villages;
in hiding places they murder the innocent.
Their eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
they lurk in secret like a lion in its covert;
they lurk that they may seize the poor;
they seize the poor and drag them off in their net.

- Psalm 10:6-9
