UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כְּ⁠אַרְיֵ֬ה בְ⁠סֻכֹּ֗⁠ה

like,lion in/on/at/with,thicket,his

This is saying that the wicked are like a lion because they hide, lying it wait to ambush their prey like a lion does. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “like a lion ambushes its prey from cover”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

יֶאֱרֹ֬ב בַּ⁠מִּסְתָּ֨ר ׀ כְּ⁠אַרְיֵ֬ה בְ⁠סֻכֹּ֗⁠ה יֶ֭אֱרֹב לַ⁠חֲט֣וֹף עָנִ֑י

lurks in/on/at/with,secret like,lion in/on/at/with,thicket,his lurks to,seize poor

In order to follow the original and highlight the parallelism with the previous verse, the ULT leaves out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. In English ambushes requires an object. You could supply these words or modify the sentence structure if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “He ambushes the afflicted in secret like a lion in cover; he ambushes them to seize them” or “He waits secretly in ambush like a lion in cover; he waits to ambush and seize the afflicted” or “He lies in wait in secret like a lion in cover; he lies in wait to seize the afflicted”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יַחְטֹ֥ף עָ֝נִ֗י בְּ⁠מָשְׁכ֥⁠וֹ בְ⁠רִשְׁתּֽ⁠וֹ

seizes poor in/on/at/with,draws,him in/on/at/with,net,his

The writer speaks of the wicked person catching people as if he were a hunter using a net to catch animals. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He seizes the afflicted like a hunter that catches an animal in a net and drags it away”
