Verse in Context
Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
