Psalms 10:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 10:8
This vivid imagery portrays the wicked as a predator lurking to devour the innocent. The Hebrew 'innocent' (nakiy) refers to the legally blameless, not sinlessly perfect—those who are victims of injustice. This foreshadows Satan as a 'roaring lion seeking whom he may devour' (1 Peter 5:8) and anticipates Christ's condemnation of religious leaders who 'devour widows' houses' (Mark 12:40).
