64:2 Hide me from the plots of evil men,

from the crowd of evildoers.

they aim their arrow, a slanderous charge,

They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation.

64:5 They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed.

They plan how to hide snares,

and boast, “Who will see them?”

You have carefully evaluated me, but you find no sin.

I am determined I will say nothing sinful.
