Psalm 64

Prayer for Rescue from Secret Enemies.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

1Hear my voice, God, in my complaint;
Protect my life from dread of the enemy.
2Hide me from the secret discussion of evildoers,
From the restlessness of the workers of injustice,
3Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrows,
4To shoot from concealment at the innocent;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.
5They make firm for themselves an evil purpose;
They talk of setting snares secretly;
They say, “Who can see them?”
6They devise injustices, saying,
“We are ready with a well-conceived plot”;
For the inward thought and the heart of a person are deep.
