Psalms 11:2

2 the evil bows are bent, the wicked arrows Aimed to shoot under cover of darkness at every heart open to God.

Psalms 11:2 In-Context

1 I've already run for dear life straight to the arms of God. So why would I run away now when you say,
2 the evil bows are bent, the wicked arrows Aimed to shoot under cover of darkness at every heart open to God.
3 The bottom's dropped out of the country; good people don't have a chance"?
4 But God hasn't moved to the mountains; his holy address hasn't changed. He's in charge, as always, his eyes taking everything in, his eyelids Unblinking, examining Adam's unruly brood inside and out, not missing a thing.
5 He tests the good and the bad alike; if anyone cheats, God's outraged.
