Psalms 64:4
| ← Psalms 64:3 | Psalms 64:4 (KJV) | Psalms 64:5 → |
|---|---|---|
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?
