Psalm 64:3
World English Bible (WEB)
who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,
In context
1 Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,
4 to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
5 They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”
