The psalmist indicates that the enemies do not speak peace but devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land. The phrase 'quiet in the land' suggests that the psalmist is not aggressive or bellicose but peaceful, making the unprovoked hostility all the more unjust. The reference to 'deceitful words' indicates that the enemies' assault is primarily through false speech and accusation rather than through direct force. This verse positions the psalmist as a peaceful person victimized by those who use deception as their weapon.
