2 Hide me from (A)the secret plots of the wicked,
from the throng of evildoers,
3 who (B)whet their tongues like swords,
who (C)aim bitter words like arrows,
4 shooting from (D)ambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and (E)without fear.
5 They (F)hold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of (G)laying snares secretly,
thinking, (H)“Who can see them?”
6 They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
For (I)the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.
Psalm 31:13

as they plot to take my life.
