Psalm 64:2

Verse 2 of 10. The 64th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

3who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

4to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

5They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”

6They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.
