A Prayer For God To Throw Down The Wicked

9 He lieth in wait in a hiding-place, like a lion in his covert, He lieth in wait to catch the humbled, He catcheth the humbled, by drawing him into his net: 10 He croucheth, he lieth down, then falleth he with his strong claws upon the unfortunate. 11 He hath said in his heart, GOD hath forgotten, - He hath veiled his face, Oh he hath never seen!
