5 In ill encourage they themselves, And commune how [closely] to lay Their snares for to entrap the just, For who [our plots] shall see, say they?
6 They study for iniquity, For it they use their [greatest] art; Deep is their inward plotting thought, And unknown is their [wicked] heart.
7 God shall an arrow at them shoot, And wound them [deep and] suddenly.
8 Their tongues shall fall upon themselves, All that see them [away] shall fly.
9 And seeing this, all men shall fear, And shall God's [dreadful] works declare; For wisely then they shall perceive That these his [righteous] doings are.
