In Context

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

4 That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?

6 They search out iniquities; We have accomplished,'say they , a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.
