Exegesis
The verse opens with ki {כִּי־ | kî} ‘for’, linking the adversaries’ intentions to the preceding assurance of protection.
The perfect verbs natu {נָטוּ | nā-ṭû} ‘they inclined’ and chashavū {חָשְׁבוּ | ḥāšə-ḇû} ‘they devised’ form a pair of hostile actions.
Root and etymology
נ־ט־ה
“to incline or stretch out”
In context — Psalm 21:11
For they have inclined evil against you and devised a scheme , yet they are not able to accomplish it.
