Psalm 64:2-6
New King James Version
2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
(A)And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
4 That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
(B)They say, “Who will see them?”
6 They devise iniquities:
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
Psalm 57:6
New King James Version
6 (A)They have prepared a net for my steps;

They have dug a pit before me;
Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah

In the secret places he murders the innocent;

He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.

That the helpless may fall by his [b]strength.

And cast away Their cords from us.”
