psalms 10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

psalms 10:7 His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.

7-10. The malignity and deceit (Ps 140:3) of such are followed by acts combining cunning, fraud, and violence (compare Pr 1:11, 18), aptly illustrated by the habits of the lion, and of hunters taking their prey. "Poor," in Ps 10:8, 10, 14, represents a word peculiar to this Psalm, meaning the sad or sorrowful; in Ps 10:9, as usual, it means the pious or meek sufferer.

psalms 10:7 His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
