American Standard Version
"They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them? "
— Psalms 64:5, American Standard Version
“They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?”
“They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"”
“They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast,“Who will see them?””
“Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: he shall dwell in thy courts. We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; holy is thy temple,”
“They make themselves strong in an evil purpose; they make holes for secret nets; they say, Who will see it,”
“They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?”
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;
Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,
That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?
They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.
But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.
So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.
