2 Hyde me from the secrete counsayles of the malitious: from the conspiracie of the workers of iniquitie. 3 Who haue whet their tongue lyke a sword: who haue drawne their arrow, euen a bitter worde. 4 That they may priuily shoote at hym which is perfect: they do sodenly shoote at hym and feare not. 5 They courage them selues in mischiefe: and comune among them selues how they may lay snares, and say, who shall see them? 6 They searche out howe to do wrong, they put in practise fully that they haue diligently searched out: yea euen the secretes and bottome of euery one of their heartes. 7 But the Lorde wyll sodenly shoote at them with a swyft arrowe: their plagues shalbe apparaunt. 8 Yea they shall cause their owne tongues to be a meanes for to destroy the selues: insomuch that who so seeth them, shal desire to flee away from them 9 And all men that see it shall say, this hath God done: for they shall well perceaue that it is his worke. 10 The righteous wyll reioyce in God, and put his trust in hym: and all they that be vpright hearted wylbe glad. Psalms 64:2-10, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
