4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent; they shoot suddenly, without fear.

4 from their hiding places so as to shoot an innocent person. They shoot without warning and without fear.

5 They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, “Who will see it ?”

5 They encourage themselves with evil words. They plan on laying traps in secret. "Who will be able to see them?" they ask.

6 "Let someone try to expose our crimes! We've devised a perfect plot! It's deep within the human mind and heart."

8 The LORD will make them trip over their own tongues; everyone who sees them will just shake their heads.

9 All people will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.

9 Then all people will honor God, will announce the act of God, will understand it was God's work.

10 The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will glory in him!

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD; let them take refuge in him; let everyone whose heart is in the right place give praise!
