Psalm 64:6

Protection From Evildoers

⁵ They hold fast to themselves an evil purpose;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
They say, “Who can see them?”
⁶ They devise injustices, saying,
“We are ready with a well-conceived plot”;
For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep.
⁷ But God will shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they will be wounded.
