Psalms 64:1-5

¹For the chief musician. A psalm of David. Hear my voice, God, listen to my complaint; preserve my life from fear of my enemies.

²Hide me from the secret plotting of evildoers, from the commotion of the doers of iniquity.

³They have sharpened their tongues like swords; they have aimed their arrows, bitter words,

⁴so that they may shoot from secret places at someone who is innocent; suddenly they shoot at him and fear nothing.

⁵They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they consult privately together in order to set traps; they say, “Who will see us?”
