52:3 You love evil more than good,
lies more than speaking the truth. 1 (Selah)
62:4 They 2 spend all their time planning how to bring him 3 down. 4
They love to use deceit; 5
they pronounce blessings with their mouths,
but inwardly they utter curses. 6 (Selah)
62:9 Men are nothing but a mere breath;
human beings are unreliable. 7
When they are weighed in the scales,
all of them together are lighter than air. 8
64:2 Hide me from the plots of evil men,
from the crowd of evildoers. 9
64:3 They 10 sharpen their tongues like a sword;
they aim their arrow, a slanderous charge, 11
64:4 in order to shoot down the innocent 12 in secluded places.
They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation. 13
64:5 They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. 14
They plan how to hide 15 snares,
and boast, 16 “Who will see them?” 17
64:6 They devise 18 unjust schemes;
they disguise 19 a well-conceived plot. 20
Man’s inner thoughts cannot be discovered. 21
