Revised Literal Translation

Psalms 64:2-6

2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

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

5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?1 2

6They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.3 4
