Context of Psalms 64:2
1Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation; Preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity, 3Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words, 4That they may shoot in secret at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
