5They hold fast to themselves an evil purpose;
         They talk of laying snares secretly;
         They say, “Who can see them?”

6They devise injustices, saying,
         “We are ready with a well-conceived plot”;
         For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep.

7But God will shoot at them with an arrow;
         Suddenly they will be wounded.

8So they will make him stumble;
         Their own tongue is against them;
         All who see them will shake the head.

9Then all men will fear,
         And they will declare the work of God,
         And will consider what He has done.

10The righteous man will be glad in the LORD and will take refuge in Him;
         And all the upright in heart will glory.

NASB ©1995

Psalms
The piety of the Old Testament Church is reflected with more clearness and variety in the Psalter than in any other book of the Old Testament. It constitutes the response of the Church to the divine demands of prophecy, and, in a less degree, of law; or, rather, it expresses those emotions and aspirations of the universal heart which lie deeper than any formal demand.
