Psalms 64:4 Context
2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked: from the insurrection of the workers of iniquitie: 3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bowes to shoote their arrowes, euen bitter words: 4That they may shoote in secret at the perfect: suddenly doe they shoote at him, and feare not. 5They incourage themselues in an euill matter: they commune of laying snares priuily; they say, Who shall see them? 6They search out iniquities, they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of euery one of them, and the heart, is deepe.
