Bible Read Psalm 64

Psalm 64:5

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.

In context

3 who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,

4 ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.

5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.

6 They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.
