In the hiding places he bkills the innocent;

His eyes 2stealthily watch for the 3cunfortunate.

He blies in wait to catch cthe afflicted;

He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his dnet.

And the 3unfortunate fall 4by his mighty ones.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

He sits in ambush in the villages;

in hiding places he murders the innocent.

His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;

he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket;

he lurks that he may seize the poor;

he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.

The helpless are crushed, sink down,

and fall by his might.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

He lies in wait near the villages;

from ambush he murders the innocent.

His eyes watch in secret for his victims;

like a lion in cover he lies in wait.

He lies in wait to catch the helpless;

he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.

His victims are crushed, they collapse;

they fall under his strength.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He waits in ambush near settlements;

he kills the innocent in secret places.

His eyes are on the lookout for the helpless;

he lurks in secret like a lion in a thicket.

He lurks in order to seize a victim;

he seizes a victim and drags him in his net.

So he is oppressed and beaten down;

helpless people fall because of the wicked one’s strength.

NLTNew Living Translation

They lurk in ambush in the villages,

waiting to murder innocent people.

They are always searching for helpless victims.

Like lions crouched in hiding,

they wait to pounce on the helpless.

Like hunters they capture the helpless

and drag them away in nets.

Their helpless victims are crushed;

they fall beneath the strength of the wicked.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

He sits in ambush in villages;

in the hiding places he kills the innocent.

His eyes lurk for the helpless.

He lies in ambush secretly, like a lion in a thicket.

He lies in ambush to seize the poor;

he seizes the poor by catching him in his net.

He is crushed; he is bowed down;

so the helpless host falls by his might.

KJV 1900King James Version

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages:

In the secret places doth he murder the innocent:

His eyes are privily set against the poor.

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.

He croucheth, and humbleth himself,

That the poor may fall by his strong ones.
