Psalms 64:1-4 ▼

1 For the music director; a psalm of David. Listen to me, O God, as I offer my lament! Protect my life from the enemy's terrifying attacks.

2 Hide me from the plots of evil men, from the crowd of evildoers.

3 They sharpen their tongues like a sword; they aim their arrow, a slanderous charge,

4 in order to shoot down the innocent in secluded places. They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation.
