Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 9. - He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den; or, he lurks in the covert as a lion in his lair (Kay) - a very striking image! He lieth in wait (or, lurks) to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net; rather, by drawing him into his net. The mode of capture is intended.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Lieth in wait.--A confusion of metaphor. The wicked is first, the lion watching for his prey, and then the hunter snaring animals. "Poor," here--better, afflicted (see Psalm 9:12). Translate, in his hiding-place he lurks, as a lion in his lair, lurks to seize a sufferer, seizes a sufferer, drawing him into his net.
