“That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.”
The reference to enemies shooting suddenly and without fear establishes that the verbal assault comes without hesitation and with confidence in its effectiveness. The targeting of the innocent establishes that there is no legitimate provocation; the attack is unjustified. The description of enemies emboldening one another indicates coordinated and mutual reinforcement of wickedness. This verse articulates the organized and persistent nature of the campaign against the righteous.
