Psalm 56:5-7
American Standard Version

5 All the day long they wrest my words:
All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,
They mark my steps,
[a]Even as they have waited for my soul.
7 [b]Shall they escape by iniquity?
In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
