Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
The malignity and deceit (Psalms 140:3) of such are followed by acts combining cunning, fraud, and violence (compare Proverbs 1:11, Proverbs 1:18), aptly illustrated by the habits of the lion, and of hunters taking their prey. "Poor," in Psalms 10:8, Psalms 10:10, Psalms 10:14, represents a word peculiar to this Psalm, meaning the sad or sorrowful; in Psalms 10:9, as usual, it means the pious or meek sufferer.
