Who reckoned evils in the heart; all the day they will gather together wars.
I peace: and when I shall speak, they for war.
For they stretched out evil upon thee: they purposed a device, they will not prevail.
He will purpose vanity upon his bed; he will set himself upon a way not good; he will not reject evil
My friends and my neighbors will stand from before my stroke, and my kindred stood from far off.
They will sojourn, they will hide, they will watch my heels as they waited for my soul
For behold, they lay in wait for my soul: the strong will gather against me; not my transgression and not my sin, O Jehovah.
How long will ye set upon a man? ye will kill all of you: as a wall inclining, a wall thrust down.
Deceit in the heart of those devising evil: and joy to those counseling peace.
For they drew near their heart as a furnace in their lying in wait: all the night their baker slept; in the morning it burnt as the fire of flame.
From thee shall he come forth purposing evil against Jehovah, a counselor of Belial.
