Psalm 7:14
Verse 14 of 17. The 7th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.
10My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.

Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.Read Psalm 7:14 in the WEB
Matthew Henry on Psalm 7:14
His conduct is described, [1.] By the pains of a labouring woman that brings forth a false conception, v. 14. The sinner's head with its politics conceives mischief, contrives it with a great deal of art, lays the plot deep, and keeps it close; the sinner's heart with its passions travails with iniquity, and is in pain to be delivered of the malicious projects it is hatching against the people of God.
