“He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. secretly: Heb. in the secret places”
Psalms 10:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 10:9
The double lion imagery intensifies the predatory picture—the wicked lies in wait like a lion in its thicket, catching the poor in a net. This combines hunting metaphors to show calculated evil. The 'helpless' (Hebrew 'ani') are those economically and socially vulnerable. This anticipates Jesus' special concern for the poor and marginalized throughout His ministry.
