Psalms 10:10 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

He croucheth— As a lion lies down, and is couchant; by that means to secure himself of his prey, or to fit himself to seize it. This, says the Jewish Arabic translator, is a description of the fashion of a lion; for, when he means to leap, he first coucheth, that he may gather himself together; then he rouseth himself, and puts out his strength, that he may tear his prey: therefore when he speaketh thee fair beware of him, for this is but his deceit.

Psalms 10:10

10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
