Context of Psalms 10:11
9He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net. 10He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones. He saith in his heart: God hath forgotten; He hideth his face, he will never see it. 12Arise, O Jehovah; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget not the poor. 13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, Thou wilt not requireit?
