At the perfect – All identified with the work in a public way. R5365:3


5 They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, 'Who doth look at it '
6 They search out perverse things, 'We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep.
7 And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,
8 And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.
9 And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.
10 The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!
