Psalms 63:1-5

¹(64) For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to you; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

²You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

³who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

⁴to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

⁵They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?
