They encourage themselves in an evil purpose;
They commune of laying snares privily;
They say, Who will see them?
They search out iniquities;
[a]We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search:
And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.
But God will shoot at them;
With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.

  1. Psalm 64:6 Or, as otherwise read, They have accomplished (or have hidden)

They encourage each other in evil plans,
    they talk about hiding their snares;(A)
    they say, “Who will see it[a]?”(B)
They plot injustice and say,
    “We have devised a perfect plan!”
    Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

But God will shoot them with his arrows;
    they will suddenly be struck down.
