For they have whetted their tongues like a sword: * they have bent their bow a bitter thing, to shoot in secret the undefiled.
They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: * they are resolute in wickedness.
They have talked of hiding snares: * they have said: Who shall see them?
They have searched after iniquities: * they have failed in their search.
Man shall come to a deep heart: * and God shall be exalted.
The arrows of children are their wounds: * and their tongues against them are made weak.
All that saw them were troubled: * and every man was afraid.
And they declared the works of God: * and understood his doings.
The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: * and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost.
