Psalms 64:2-6

2Hide me from athe secret plots of the wicked,
from the throng of evildoers,
3who bwhet their tongues like swords,
who caim bitter words like arrows,
4shooting from dambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and ewithout fear.
5They fhold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of glaying snares secretly,
thinking, hWho can see them?”
6They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
For ithe inward mind and heart of a man are deep.
