Psalm 64:4-6

⁴    from their hiding places
    so as to shoot an innocent person.
    They shoot without warning and without fear.
⁵They encourage themselves with evil words.
    They plan on laying traps in secret.
        “Who will be able to see them?” they ask.
⁶        “Let someone try to expose our crimes!
        We’ve devised a perfect plot!
        It’s deep within the human mind and heart.”^[a]
