2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
4 That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter;They talk of laying snares secretly;They say, “Who will see them?”
6 They devise iniquities:“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;Suddenly they shall be wounded.
8 So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;All who see them shall flee away.
