Psalms 64:2-6
Hide me from the secret discussion of evildoers, From the restlessness of the workers of injustice,Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrows,To shoot from concealment at the innocent; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.They make firm for themselves an evil purpose; They talk of setting snares secretly; They say,“ Who can see them?”They devise injustices, saying,“ We are ready with a well conceived plot”; For the inward thought and the heart of a person are deep.
