  In the secret places he murders the innocent;
  His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
  He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;
  He lies in wait to catch the poor;
  He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
  So he crouches, he lies low,
  That the helpless may fall by his strength.
