Context of Psalms 64:2
1Hear my voice, God, in my complaint; Protect my life from dread of the enemy. Hide me from the secret discussion of evildoers, From the restlessness of the workers of injustice, 3Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrows, 4To shoot from concealment at the innocent; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.
