King James Version
"That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not."
— Psalms 64:4, King James Version
“That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. ”
“to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.”
“in order to shoot down the innocent in secluded places. They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation.”
“The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.”
“So that in secret they may let loose their arrows at the upright, suddenly and unseen.”
“That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.”
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
