Context of Psalms 64:2
1Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; Guard my life from the terror of the enemy. Hide me from the secret counsel and conspiracy of the ungodly, From the scheming of those who do wrong, 3Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aim venomous words as arrows, 4To shoot from ambush at the blameless [one]; Suddenly they shoot at him, without fear.
