Psalms 64:2-6
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows— bitter words,That they may shoot in secret at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.They encourage themselves in an evil matter; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say,“ Who will see them?”They devise iniquities:“ We have perfected a shrewd scheme.” Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
