‏ Psalms 64:5

5 They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. ^{▼▼tn Heb “they give strength to themselves, an evil matter [or “word”].”}
They plan how to hide ^{▼▼tn Heb “they report about hiding.”} snares
and boast, ^{▼▼tn Heb “they say.”} “Who will see them?” ^{▼▼tn If this is a direct quotation (cf. NASB, NIV), the pronoun “them” refers to the snares mentioned in the previous line. If it is an indirect quotation, then the pronoun may refer to the enemies themselves (cf. NEB, which is ambiguous). Some translations retain the direct quotation but alter the pronoun to “us,” referring clearly to the enemies (cf. NRSV).}
