from the throng of evildoers,
3who swhet their tongues like swords,
who taim bitter words like arrows,
4shooting from uambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and vwithout fear.

they talk of xlaying snares secretly,
thinking, yWho can see them?”
6They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
For zthe inward mind and heart of a man are deep.

they are wounded suddenly.
8They are brought to ruin, with their own abtongues turned against them;
all who acsee them will adwag their heads.
