Psalms 10:8 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

His eyes are privily set against the poor— {Are watching / Lay wait} for the poor. It may be proper to observe, once for all, that the word poor in the Psalms is not applied to those only who are distressed in their outward circumstances, but also to the poor in spirit; to the humble and afflicted.

Psalms 10:8

8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
