Psalms 64
David asks God to protect him from his enemies who are plotting against him with sharp tongues and hidden snares. Despite their wicked plans, God will ultimately be exalted and the enemies will be weakened. Those who see God's works will be troubled and afraid, but the just will rejoice and hope in Him. The upright of heart will be praised.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication. Rescue my soul from the fear of the enemyYou have protected me from the assembly of the malignant, from a multitude of workers of iniquityFor they have sharpened their tongues like a sword; they have formed their bow into a bitter thingso that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculateThey will suddenly shoot arrows at him, and they will not be afraid. They are resolute in their wicked talk. They have discussed hidden snares. They have said, "Who will see them?They have been searching carefully for iniquities. Their exhaustive search has failed. Man will approach with a deep heartand God will be exalted. The arrows of the little ones have become their woundsand their tongues have been weakened against them. All those who saw them have been troubledand every man was afraid. And they announced the works of God, and they understood his actsThe just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him. And all the upright of heart will be praised
