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.
1Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication. Rescue my soul from the fear of the enemy2You have protected me from the assembly of the malignant, from a multitude of workers of iniquity3For they have sharpened their tongues like a sword; they have formed their bow into a bitter thing4so that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculate5They 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?6They have been searching carefully for iniquities. Their exhaustive search has failed. Man will approach with a deep heart7and God will be exalted. The arrows of the little ones have become their wounds8and their tongues have been weakened against them. All those who saw them have been troubled9and every man was afraid. And they announced the works of God, and they understood his acts10The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him. And all the upright of heart will be praised
