Psalms 64:3-6 The Cry of the Oppressed

3 They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim their words like deadly arrows.

4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent man;
they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.

5 They encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;
they say, “Who will see them?”

6 They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning.
