For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.

The verses around it, from Psalm 35.
16 Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed their teeth at me.
17 How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
18 Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.
19 Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause, nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.
20 For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.
21 They gape at me and say, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”
22 O LORD, You have seen it; be not silent. O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!
24 Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God, and do not let them gloat over me.
