2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; From the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3Who whet their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who shall see them?
6They search out iniquities; They accomplish a diligent search: Both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly shall they be wounded.
8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: All that see them shall flee away.
