Context of Psalms 10:7
5His ways always succeed; thy judgments are far above out of his sight; [as for] all his adversaries, he puffeth at them. 6He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved; from generation to generation I shall be in no adversity. His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity. 8He sitteth in the lurking-places of the villages; in the secret places doth he slay the innocent: his eyes watch for the wretched. 9He lieth in wait secretly, like a lion in his thicket; he lieth in wait to catch the afflicted: he doth catch the afflicted, drawing him into his net.

Commentaries on Psalms 10:7
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7His mouth is full of cursing, and deceit, and fraud - What a finished character! A blasphemer, a deceitful man, and a knave!Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7His mouth is full of cursing - Profaneness; blasphemy against God.

The meaning is, that the wicked man, as here described, was one who was full of imprecation, swearing, execration; a “profane” man; a man who, whatever was his belief about God, would constantly call upon his name, and imprecate his wrath on himself or others…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 6-7Even though they act wrongly (Psalms 5:9; 28:3; Romans 3:14), the wicked still hope for a future free of trouble like the righteous will enjoy.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 7-107-10. The malignity and deceit (Psa 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 Psa 10:8, 10, 14, represents a word peculiar to this Psalm, meaning the sad or sorrowful; in Psa 10:9, as usual, it means the pious or meek sufferer.Read the comment
