Psalms 64:2-9

²Thou hast defended me from the covent or convent of evil-doers; from the multitude of them that work wickedness.

³For they sharpened their tongues as a sword, they bend their bow, a bitter thing;

⁴for to shoot in huddles, or privates, him that is unwemmed. Suddenly they shall shoot him, and they shall not dread;

⁵they made steadfast to themselves a wicked word. They told, that they should hide snares; they said, Who shall see them?

⁶They sought wickednesses; they sought, and failed not in seeking. A man nighed to a deep heart;

⁷and God shall be enhanced. The arrows of little men, that is, of envious men, be made the wounds of them;

⁸and the tongues of them be made sick against them. All men be troubled, that saw them;

⁹and each man dreaded. And they told the works of God; and they understood the deeds of him.
