World English Bible
"to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly."
— Psalms 64:4, World English Bible
“That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.”
“That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. ”
“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, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;
who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,
to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.
They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"
They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!" Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.
But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.
