2. Hide me from the secret counsel and conspiracy of the ungodly, from the scheming of evildoers,
3. Who whet their tongues like a sword, who aim venomous words like arrows,
4. Who shoot from ambush at the blameless man; suddenly do they shoot at him, without self-reproach or fear.
5. They encourage themselves in an evil purpose, they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, Who will discover us ?
6. They think out acts of injustice and say, We have accomplished a well-devised thing! For the inward thought of each one [is unsearchable] and his heart is deep.
7. But God will shoot an unexpected arrow at them; and suddenly shall they be wounded.
8. And they will be made to stumble, their own tongues turning against them; all who gaze upon them will shake their heads and flee away.
