Psalms 11:2
For behold, the wicked bend their bows.
from In the LORD I Take Refuge, Psalms 11:1-7
What it says

The wicked bend their bows in the dark, ready to shoot at the upright in heart.

What it is doing

This verse states the hidden danger that makes the temptation to flee understandable.

In context

1For the choirmaster. Of David. 2For behold, the wicked bend their bows. 3If the foundations are destroyed, 4The LORD is in His holy temple; 5The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; 6On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; 7For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice.
