Psalms 64:1-6

1For the music director, a psalm of David.

2Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint. Protect my life from terror of the enemy.

3Hide me from the conspiracy of evildoers, from the tumult of workers of iniquity,

4who sharpened their tongue like a sword, and aimed their arrow—bitter words,

5to shoot from hiding at the innocent, shooting suddenly at him, with no fear.

6They are firming up their evil plan. They talk about setting secret traps. They asked, “Who would see them?”
