Salmos 10:9

9 Como leones agazapados en sus escondites,
esperan para lanzarse sobre los débiles.
Como cazadores capturan a los indefensos
y los arrastran envueltos en redes.

Salmos 10:9 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 10:9

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion
The first beast in ( Revelation 13:2 ) ; is said to have a mouth like a lion, and the second beast in ( Psalms 10:11 ) ; spake like a dragon; and both design one and the same, antichrist, in his twofold capacity, civil and ecclesiastical; this metaphor of the lion lying in wait secretly for his prey denotes the insidious methods used by antichrist to destroy the faithful witnesses of Christ; who lies like a lion

in his den,
in the temple of God, now become a den of thieves;

he lieth in wait to catch the poor:
to snatch and carry them away captive as his prey; see ( Revelation 13:10 ) ;

he doth catch the poor when he draweth him into his net;
this metaphor is taken from fowlers, who spread nets, into which they allure and draw the birds and catch them. The allurements, snares, and nets, which antichrist lays to catch the poor saints and people of God in, are the riches and honours of this world, great pretensions to holiness, devotion; and religion, and many lying signs and wonders.

Salmos 10:9 In-Context

7 Su boca está llena de maldiciones, mentiras y amenazas;
tienen maldad y violencia en la punta de la lengua.

8 Se esconden en emboscada en las aldeas,
a la espera para matar a gente inocente;
siempre buscan víctimas indefensas.

9 Como leones agazapados en sus escondites,
esperan para lanzarse sobre los débiles.
Como cazadores capturan a los indefensos
y los arrastran envueltos en redes.

10 Sus pobres víctimas quedan aplastadas;
caen bajo la fuerza de los malvados.

11 Los perversos piensan: «¡Dios no nos mira!
¡Ha cerrado los ojos y ni siquiera ve lo que hacemos!».
