5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
^aThey say, “Who will see them?” ‡

6 They devise iniquities:
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.

8 So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;
^aAll who see them shall flee away. ‡

9 All men shall fear,
And shall ^adeclare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider His doing. ‡
