Psalms 64:1-5

¹(64-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (64-2) Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

²(64-3) Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

³(64-4) Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;

⁴(64-5) That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

⁵(64-6) They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.
